Speed skating star Jordan Stolz continues dominance, wins 1,500min Calgary [Video]

American speedskater star Jordan Stolz continued his World Cup dominance while Canada’s Isabelle Weidemann searched for an extra gear in a race she gets few chances to execute in a season.

A six-time world champion at age 20, Stolz won the 1,500 metres Friday and set a track record at Calgary’s Olympic Oval with a time of one minute, 41.22 seconds.

“That track record was, I think, there for awhile,” Stolz said. “It was a tough one to beat so I’m glad to take that one.

“Had a really good opener in first lap and then after that, I started blowing up a little, and when I felt that I just attacked the last lap as hard as I could. The last lap was actually pretty good, but it was tough to see straight after that.”
