Stolz victorious again, Ghiotto sets world record at speed skating World Cup in Calgary

American speed skating star Jordan Stolz stayed undefeated this World Cup season with a victory in the men’s 1,000 metres in Calgary.

The 20-year-old from West Bend, Wis., also won the 1,500 metres at the Olympic Oval where he’ll also race the 500 metres. Stolz has yet to lose a World Cup race over the three distances this season.

Italian speed skater Davide Ghiotto set a world record in the men’s 10,000 metres en route to gold.

Ghiotto crossed the line in 12 minutes 25.69 seconds to better the previous record of 12:30.74 set by Sweden’s Nils van der Poel at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Joy Beune of the Netherlands took the women’s 1,500 metres a day after her victory in the 1,000.

The host Canadian team had yet to reach the podium after two days of racing.
