Jordan Stolz will take the ice in Milan for the first time Wednesday, Feb. 11, in possibly his best event: the men's 1000m.

Jordan Stolz plans to do four individual races at the 2026 Milano Cortina WInter Olympics and will be favored for gold in each event.

Three years ago, the greatest speedskater in American history made a rare appearance at the Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City. Eric Heiden was curious to see the 18-year-old phenom who had already laid waste to the world junior record book and was by then beginning to snap at the heels of the fastest speedskaters on the international circuit.

Already the world record holder in the 1,000-meter race, the 21-year-old American phenom has a shot at four gold medals in the Milan Cortina Olympics.

MILAN — For a year and a half, speedskater Jordan Stolz has been waiting for this moment. To get out his favorite pair of blades, the ones he’s saved since using them to set a 1,000-meter world record, and put them back on his feet. The 21-year-old phenom is unusually meticulous, even in a sport where being obsessive about skates is commonplace.

Here's how to watch Jordan Stolz compete in speed skating at the 2026 Olympics with a schedule of races, TV channels and event times.
