Jens van ’t Wout of the Netherlands has won his second gold medal in short track speedskating at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Jutta Leerdam delivered one of the greatest performances in Olympic speed skating history on Monday with her record-setting, gold medal victory in the 1000m event and Sunday, she will have the opportunity to add a second piece of hardware to her Milano Cortina collection when she competes in the 500m event.

The field of 30 skaters is considered to be strong, and Stolz, the 21-year-old from Wisconsin, is not the runaway favorite.

Stolz, a 21-year-old Wisconsin native, recorded a time of 33.77 seconds. Jenning de Boo (33.88) from the Netherlands took home the silver while Laurent Dubreuil (34.26) claimed bronze. It’s the second straight gold medal and Olympic record for Stolz. He did both in the 1,000-meter competition, when he recorded a time of 1:06.28.

Here's how Stolz made history in Milan-Cortina.

As is tradition, the Netherlands has a number of athletes who have the potential to medal in the event. Femke Kok, Marrit Fledderus and Jutta Leerdam are among the top-ranked 1000m skaters heading into the Winter Games. It was Leerdam who won the silver medal in Beijing four years ago.
