Jordan Stolz (born May 21, 2004) is an American long track speed skater and Olympic gold medalist. At the 2023 World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships, Stolz won the 500 meters to become the youngest single distance world champion in history. He also became the first male skater to win three individual gold medals at a single World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships, a feat he repeated in 2024.
At the 2024 World Allround Speed Skating Championships, he won the gold medal in his World Allround Speed Skating Championships debut, breaking the world record for the big combination, and became the youngest male World Allround champion in 46 years.
At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Stolz won gold medals in the 500 meters and 1000 meters, setting Olympic records in both events, and won silver in the 1500 meters. This was the second-best medals performance by an American in a single Olympic Winter Games in history, behind only Eric Heiden's five gold medals in 1980.
At the junior level, Stolz also won gold medals in the 500 meters, 1000 meters, and 1500 meters at the 2023 World Junior Speed Skating Championships, becoming the first person to win titles in three separate distances at the Senior and Junior World Championships in the same year.
He currently holds four junior world records (500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters, mini combination) and two senior world records (1000 meters, big combination).
