With little time between events, he secured three more gold at the Pettit National Ice Center before winning silver in the second running of the 500m Sunday.
“I’m feeling really strong right now,” he said. “It’s three weeks until the next world cup and that will be a good training block to get in before Poland and that will set me up perfectly for the World Championships.”
Canadian Laurent Dubreuil, who finished in the winner’s circle twice over the weekend, said it would be hard to be Stolz and have a perfect race all the time.
