American speedskater Jordan Stolz won four races at a single ISU Speed Skating World Cup for the fourth event in a row after claiming the gold medal in the 500 meters in Beijing on Sunday.
The 20-year-old from Wisconsin, the youngest single distance world champion in history after winning the 500 meters at the 2023 championships, has won all four 500-meter World Cup races this season.
Following up on his 500, 1,000, and 1,500 triumphs earlier in the weekend in Beijing, Stolz extended his remarkable streak when he won the second 500-meter race Sunday.
Stolz clocked a time of 34.39 seconds at the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval, 0.08 quicker than Dutchman Jenning de Boo.
On Saturday, Stolz set a track record of 1:07.62 to finish ahead of De Boo in the 1000 meters.
Stolz, only the third U.S. male speedskater to make the Olympic team at the age of 17, finished 13th in the 500 and 14th in the 1,000 at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and has continued his stunning rise ahead of Milano Cortina 2026.
Stolz, who achieved the highest point total in the history of the men’s all-round championship with 144.740 last season, will be in action when the third World Cup takes place in Calgary, Canada, from Jan. 24-26.
