CHJutta Leerdam
sets Olympic record, wins 1000m gold at 2026 Winter Olympics.
Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam captured the gold medal in the women’s 1000 m at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, stopping the clock in 1:12.31 — a new Olympic record in the event. 
Leerdam’s performance came in a Dutch one-two finish, with teammate Femke Kok taking silver after briefly holding the record earlier in the session, and Japan’s Miho Takagi earning bronze. 
The 27-year-old, who previously took silver in the same event at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, combined fast opening splits with controlled pacing to peak at the right moment in her second Olympic Games. 
Her victory also extended the Netherlands’ speed skating legacy and marked the first Olympic gold of Leerdam’s career in her signature long-track sprint distance.
