- US star sets mark with 1min 5.37secs at the Utah Olympic Oval
- Stolz, 19, becomes first US man to set world record since 2009
Reigning world champion Jordan Stolz set a world men’s 1000m speedskating record on Friday, the American teen clocking in at 1min 5.37secs at the Utah Olympic Oval.
The 19-year-old who dazzled with three titles at last year’s world championships set the mark at a World Cup race outside Salt Lake City, shattering the old mark of 1:05.69 set by Pavel Kulizhnikov of Russia in the same oval in February 2020.
