Kewaskum, WI – Local speed skater Jordan Stolz is bringing home the hardware following another win at the World Cup in Beijing, China. The 20-year-old won his 15th consecutive gold medal with a first-place finish in the 1000m race. Watch him skate LIVE today at 1 p.m. on NBC. ((FYI – notice the marketing by the network as #JordanStolz is the face of the broadcast.)
Not only did Stolz take first place, he set a new track record finishing in 1.07,62 which was faster than the 1:07,92 set by Dutch skater Thomas Krol on February 18, 2022.
Stolz finished .20 hundredths ahead of second-place skater Jenning De Boo of the Netherlands who crossed in 1:07,82.
The world record in the 1000m is actually held by Stolz; he finished in 1:05.37 on January 26, 2024.
When asked about the consecutive first-place finishes, coach Bob Corby said, “I’ve stopped keeping track.”

Kewaskum, WI – Might want to jump on the #JordanStolz bandwagon as this future winter Olympian is racking up quite a long list of accomplishments. As of Friday morning, the 20 year old from the town of Wayne has won 14 consecutive gold medals so far this World Cup season.
Stolz is currently skating in China at the Beijing World Cup. Click HERE for live results.
In the 500 meter race Stolz finished in first place with a time of 34.27. He also set a new track record beating the previous track record of 34.22 set in February 2022 by Chinese speedskater Tingyu Gao.
A little more than an hour later Stolz finished first in the 1500m with a time of 1:43.94.
“He was very tired in the 1500 but still won,” said coach Bob Corby. “He is truly special.”
Stolz currently sits atop the World Cup standings.
Corby said Friday morning Stolz has two more races before returning home. “We will return to the World Cup schedule January 22, 2025 in Calgary. Then Milwaukee January 30 – February 2, 2025 and after that it is Poland, then Holland for the last World Cup.
“March 10 – 12, 2025, is the World Championships in Hammer, Norway. That’s the site of the 1994 Olympics where Dan Jansen won his gold medal in the 1000m,” said Corby.
Neighbors will have a chance to see Stolz skate at home when the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee, WI, hosts the World Cup on January 31 – February 2, 2025.
