American Jordan Stolz became the first male speed skater to earn three individual gold medals at a world single distances championships.
Stolz, an 18-year-old who honed his skating on the pond behind his family’s Wisconsin house, won the 1500m on the last day of the four-day championships in Heerenveen, Netherlands.
He clocked 1 minute, 43.59 seconds to beat two-time Olympic champion Kjeld Nuis of the Netherlands by 23 hundredths.
On Friday, Stolz won the 500m to become the youngest gold medalist since the world single distances championships started in 1996.
