American speed skater Jordan Stolz continued his dominant performance at the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, securing a gold medal and setting a new Olympic record in the 500-meter race. Stolz finished the race in 33.77 seconds, .11 seconds ahead of Dutch speedskater Jenning de Boo, solidifying his status as a top contender in the sport.
Stolz's victory came after winning the 1000-meter race earlier in the week, putting him in a strong position to be considered one of the greatest speed skaters of all time. Before the 500-meter event, Stolz's coach, Bob Corby, reminded him to "burn, like you've never burned before," a strategy that clearly paid off. Stolz's performance was a highlight of the Games, which are currently underway in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The U.S. men's hockey team also had a successful day, defeating Denmark 6-3. Jack Eichel and Brady Tkachuk led the offense, with the top line contributing significantly to the victory. Despite a shaky start, the U.S. rallied and secured the win, keeping pace with Canada for the top seed.
While the Olympics provided exciting sporting moments, other news from the world included Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad, with Vinicius Junior scoring two penalty goals. In tech news, US Deputy Health Secretary Jim O'Neill's influence on vaccine guidelines and research into extending human healthspan was highlighted.
