Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam sure is having a great time so far at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. Leerdam just recently made history by posting a new Olympic record to win Gold in the Women’s 1000m speed skating.

MILAN (AP) — There is little question that Jutta Leerdam and her fiancé, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, have brought new eyeballs to speedskating with all of their millions of followers on social media.

Jutta Leerdam, the fiancée of Jake Paul, won the women's 1000m speedskating gold medal by setting an Olympic record on Feb. 9 at the Winter Olympics.

Jutta Leerdam set a new Olympic record in the women's 1,000 meters to win the gold medal ahead of her Dutch teammate Femke Kok.

Day 3 of the 2026 Winter Olympics has been a busy one, with five gold medals handed out. The first gold went to Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud in the women's freeski slopestyle as she defended her title.

On the ice, Jutta Leerdam is an Olympic medalist speedskater for the Netherlands who is entered in the 500 and 1,000 meters at the Milan Cortina Winter Games. Off the ice, Leerdam gets a lot of attention for her engagement to YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul — who is also at these Olympics,

Much focus was on Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam on Monday as she competed at the women’s 1000m race at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics and achieved a historic performance. Her winning time of 1:12:31 set a new Olympic record and earned her a gold medal for Team Netherlands.

Leerdam won silver in the 1000 at the 2022 Olympics, so this was her chance to take the final leap, and she did it with an impressive race. It was clear how much it meant to her, with major tears and emotion throughout her post-race celebration. After that, though, Leerdam isn't done. She has more racing to do.

Back at the 2022 Winter Olympics in China, Hall didn’t just show up — he showed out, snagging Olympic gold for Team USA in freestyle skiing and cementing himself as one of the sport’s biggest stars. As one admirer recently put it: “got lost in his eyes.” Another watching him on the slopes wrote, “Omg he’s a god.”
