Jutta Leerdam might be one of the most notable athletes at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics. Now that attention has shifted away from Lindsey Vonn after another injury, Leerdam is taking center stage.
The 27-year-old, who has stolen the show in Milan, has been the subject of constant discussion since her arrival. She was overcome with emotion at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium after realizing her Olympic dream in front of a packed house.
Jake Paul was brought to tears by Leerdam’s gold-medal finish on Monday. Leerdam’s Olympics triumph comes nearly a year after Paul popped the question.
The speed-skating star is fresh off being labeled a “diva” after flying to the Winter Games aboard a private jet. She was expected to travel with her Dutch teammates. Lerdam silenced all of her critics.
Now, social media is giving Jutta Leerdam even more praise, but it has nothing to do with her talent or accomplishments.
Social Media Falls In Love With Dutch Speed Skater Jutta Leerdam Skating In Her Uniform
The Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games have brought together the top athletes from across the globe to compete for medals. Nearly 350 medals are expected to be given during this year’s competitions.
Just days into the competition, Jutta Leerdam already has one of them, a Gold medal. One day before she would win, a video of her at practice in her uniform would go viral.
The video, captioned “Dutch perfection,” showed the speed skater on the ice.
How social media reacted:
“Jake Paul gets to snuggle with her ffs 
Lucky man,” one person said.

“My timeline is full of her, and I can’t complain,” a fourth fan added.
“She has such a nice presence,” one final fan commented.
Jake Paul’s fiancée won gold in women’s 1000m speedskating at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan on Feb. 9.
“OLYMPIC CHAMPION 1000 METER!!!!!! I can’t believe it!!!

Leerdam will take the track for the 500 meters almost a week after her gold medal win. That event takes place on Sunday, Feb. 15.
