Jutta Leerdam wins Gold medal


Dutch speedskater Jutta Leerdam claimed her first gold medal in an Olympic-record time in the women's 1,000 meters at the Milan Cortina Games on Monday, then stopped near the stands to blow kisses at her fiancĂ©, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Racing in the event's final heat against defending Olympic champion Miho Takagi of Japan, Leerdam never strayed from her steady strides, and she finished in 1 minute, 12.31 seconds in front of a raucous crowd of orange-clad fans from her speedskating-loving nation.
