So let's get into it. Jordan Stolz just officially locked in his ticket to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, and folks, this kid is about to change the game. Just this past Monday, the U.S. Olympic Long Track Speedskating Trials wrapped up at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee, and according to Milwaukee Magazine, the 21-year-old phenom from Kewaskum secured spots in four events—the 500 meters, 1,000 meters, 1,500 meters, and the mass start. This is his second Olympic appearance, but the expectations? They're astronomical this time around. Here's what made the trials interesting though. Stolz came in battling a head cold while maintaining intense training, which honestly tells you something about his mindset. He actually fell hard at the start of the 1,000 meters on Saturday—his signature event—early in the race. The crowd gasped. But this competitor got up, finished third, and kept moving. According to his coach Bob Corby, quoted in the Washington County Insider report, that recovery was nothing short of a testament to what a phenomenal athlete he is. By Sunday, Stolz bounced back with the fastest 500-meter time of the day, though he wisely skipped the 1,500 to preserve energy. He finished the trials strong by winning one of the mass start races. NBC Sports reported that Stolz holds two world championship titles in each of his three sprint distances and he's the world record holder in the 1,000. The man went undefeated in World Cup competition this season, winning every race in his events across three stops. His competitors? According to Corby, they looked defeated just looking at him, knowing they had six weeks to somehow catch up. The bigger picture here is that at 21 years old, Stolz has a genuine shot at making Olympic history. Multiple sources believe he could win three gold medals in Milan—something only one American has ever done. That's Eric Heiden territory, folks. Thanks for tuning in to Biography Flash.
