Jordan Stolz, one of the world’s top Olympic speed skaters, says nothing matches the rush of skating a personal best in front of a roaring crowd. A star in the Netherlands but anonymous at home, he enjoys the balance. Heading into Milano, he’s breaking track records and feels confident he can bring that form to the Olympic stage.

00:00Going and skating like a personal best time and hitting like your top speed is
00:03it's just a real feeling. I can't really replicate it with anything. I mean
00:07you can go out and drive the car as fast as you can hit some turns
00:11just doesn't feel as you know cool or as exciting as skating on the ice.
00:34Especially with like the crowd and like air in vain and everything with 10,000 people screaming at you
00:39that makes it even better rather than other tracks where it's empty which is why I think
00:42there should be a little more visibility because it's not that popular of a sport but it's it's
00:47super cool and I think if they get a little more attention you know it could grow a little bit.
00:51In Europe you go even in Germany like you'll still get big crowds. It's mainly Hollandville where it's
00:55like the number two sport there. I'd love to you know have that in the US. In the Netherlands
00:59I mean I feel like every KLM flight I get on like all the flight attendants know me and they
01:04treat me a little bit extra nice. Maybe do a couple autographs on the plane ride. Walking down the
01:08street they'll know you you know free haircut from the barber do some pictures. But here it's like
01:12walking to Piggly Wiggly nobody knows who you are. I like both. I mean I like to be anonymous here
01:18and I like to go over there and be you know like super celebrated.
