China's Ning Zhongyan set an Olympic record on his way to gold in the men's speed skating over 1,500 metres on Thursday, denying United States' Jordan Stolz a hat-trick of individual gold medals at the Milan/Cortina Winter Games.
An American speedster goes for another gold medal in Milan, as Jordan Stolz skates for the top of the podium in the Men’s 1,500-meter Speed Skating Final. Speed Skating has been part of the Winter Games’ calendar since the first-ever edition of the Winter Olympiad in 1924.
Stolz was trying to become the second American − Eric Heiden won five in 1980 − to win four individual medals in a single Winter Olympics.
Jordan Stolz came into the 1,500 meters a heavy favorite to win a third gold medal at the 2026 Olympics. But China's Zhongyan Ning staged an upset.
