Dutch speed skater flew to Olympics on private jet, won gold and became a sex symbol of the Games
27-year-old Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam became one of the main stars of the Winter Olympics in Italy. She won gold in the 1000-meter distance, confirming her status as one of the strongest sprinters in the world. But she is discussed not only because of her results on the ice.

Her first great success was a gold medal at the World Junior Championships in 2017. Leerdam then gradually established herself in adult sports. She specializes in 500 and 1000-meter distances, but the 1000 meters became her signature discipline.
Sex symbol and media star
In addition to her athletic achievements, Jutta Leerdam is one of the most popular speed skaters in the world: her Instagram following exceeds 5 million.
Romance with Jake Paul
Her relationship with American blogger and boxer Jake Paul attracts additional attention to her.
Paul is one of the most famous internet influencers in the USA. He gained fame on the Vine platform, later became a YouTube star, and then began a career in professional boxing. His fights gather millions of viewers, and he himself is known for provocative statements and an ability to attract attention.
And while social networks discuss her appearance, lifestyle, and romance with the American star, Jutta herself continues to do what she does best — skate faster than everyone else.
