[乔丹·斯托尔兹]冲击成为32年来首位在速度滑冰长距离项目中斩获三枚奥运金牌的男子选手的努力在周六宣告失败。在速度滑冰项目最后一项——集体出发比赛中，尽管斯托尔兹一度处于领先地位，但40岁的约里特·伯格斯玛与另一名选手在还剩几圈时便拉开了与大部队的距离。
斯托尔兹原本以为会有人试图追赶上领先者，但结果无人行动。他对此感到震惊。最终，他获得第四名，而留着鲻鱼头的伯格斯玛——奥运史上最年长的速滑金牌得主——位居榜首。
“所有人都以为我会去追赶，但我不打算那么做，”来自威斯康星州的21岁选手斯托尔兹表示，“如果我在还剩五圈时就开始追赶，肯定会体力透支。我以为其他人会更迫切地去尝试，但看来他们并不愿意。”
他在米兰赛事中赢得了前两项比赛——[500米]和[1000米]，随后在1500米项目中获得银牌。在周四的比赛结果出来后，斯托尔兹表示：“我今天状态不佳，不确定原因。”
在集体出发项目中，他的表现同样未能达标。
丹麦选手维克托·哈尔德·托鲁普（Viktor Hald Thorup）与伯格斯玛一同领跑并最终获得银牌。曾在男子团体追逐赛中模仿斯蒂芬·库里“晚安”手势、帮助意大利队击败夺冠热门美国队的安德烈亚·乔瓦尼尼（Andrea Giovannini）获得铜牌，在最后冲刺阶段险胜斯托尔兹。
“我为约里特感到高兴，也为维克托感到高兴。除此之外，我没什么可公开说的。这是我这辈子见过的最愚蠢的比赛，”斯托尔兹的教练鲍勃·科尔比（Bob Corby）评价道，“整个大部队都决定‘好吧，我们来争铜牌吧’。太蠢了。”

赛前，人们热议斯托尔兹是否有可能斩获四枚金牌，而在他赢得前两项比赛后，新闻发布会上也被反复问及这一话题。上一位在单届冬奥会速度滑冰项目中收获三枚金牌的男子选手是1994年利勒哈默尔冬奥会的约翰·奥拉夫·科斯加（Johann Olav Koss）。
“能获得两枚金牌和一枚银牌已经很棒了，”科尔比说，“几乎完成了我们的所有目标。如果他能赢得1500米金牌，我根本不会在意集体出发的结果。”
斯托尔兹对自己的第二次奥运之旅也有类似评价：2022年北京冬奥会时，17岁的他在该项目中仅获第13和14名。
“我觉得这次很成功：两枚金牌和一枚银牌，已经很不错了，”他表示，“当然还有一些地方可以做得更好，但总体而言我很满意。”
伯格斯玛在米兰赛事中还获得了10000米铜牌，至此他的奥运奖牌总数达到五枚，其中包括2014年10000米金牌。
女子集体出发金牌同样被荷兰选手收入囊中：现任世界冠军玛丽克·格罗内沃德（Marijke Groenewoud）在其他三项比赛中最好成绩仅为第七名。加拿大选手伊瓦尼·布朗丁连续第二次获得银牌，美国选手米娅·曼加内洛获得铜牌。
布朗丁此前在团体追逐赛中帮助加拿大队卫冕成功。36岁的曼加内洛本赛季集体出发项目世界杯冠军，在职业生涯最后一场比赛后挥舞着美国国旗绕场庆祝。
在16圈的比赛中，伯格斯玛和托鲁普一开始便领先大部队。最终，伯格斯玛独自突围，领先优势巨大，足以在最后直道轻松滑行，他在米兰速度滑冰体育场向大批荷兰观众张开双臂、挥拳并飞吻致意。
赛后等待登上领奖台时，伯格斯玛转向乔瓦尼尼谈及比赛：“我简直不敢相信，我当时想，‘这真的在发生吗？’”
而斯托尔兹同样难以理解比赛中的意外情况。
“我想人们的行为总是出人意料。比如在集体出发项目中，你会以为大家会更积极地追赶约里特，毕竟我已经有两枚金牌在手，而该项目的夺冠热门却不愿出手，”斯托尔兹表示，“所以，是的，我没有预料到这种情况。”
Jordan Stolz’s bid for another Olympic gold medal ends as Dutch speedskaters win mass start
February 21, 2026 / 1:57 PM EST / AP
[Jordan Stolz]’s bid to become the first man in 32 years with three Olympic golds in long track speedskating was fading Saturday. Way ahead in the mass start, the sport’s final event at the [Milan Cortina Games], was 40-year-old Jorrit Bergsma, who joined another skater in pulling away from the pack with several laps to go.
Stolz kept figuring someone else would try to reel in the leaders. No one did. Stolz was shocked. He wound up in fourth place behind the mullet-wearing Bergsma, the oldest speedskater to claim a gold at any Olympics.
“They all expected me to chase, but I wasn’t going to do that,” said Stolz, a 21-year-old from Wisconsin. “If I had chased with five laps to go, I would have just blown myself up. I thought the other guys would be a bit more hungry to do it, but I guess they didn’t want to.”
He won his first two events in Milan, the [500 meters]and [1,000 meters]. Then came a silver in the 1,500. After that result on Thursday, Stolz said: “I didn’t have it today. Not sure why.”
He didn’t have enough in the mass start, either.
Viktor Hald Thorup of Denmark, who moved out front with Bergsma initially, got the silver. Andrea Giovannini, who mimicked Steph Curry’s “Night night” gesture when he helped Italy beat the favored U.S. in the men’s team pursuit, was the bronze medalist, barely nudging past Stolz in a closing sprint.
“I’m really happy for Jorrit. And I’m really happy for Viktor. Other than that, I don’t have anything that’s printable. The stupidest race I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Stolz’s coach, Bob Corby. “The whole peloton decided, like, ‘Well, let’s race for the bronze medal.’ So dumb.”

Ahead of these Olympics, there had been a lot of talk about whether Stolz might end up with a quartet of golds, and he was asked questions about that at news conferences immediately following his two wins. The last male speedskater to get three golds in speedskating at a single Winter Games was Johann Olav Koss at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics.
“Well, it’s just wonderful to have two golds and a silver,” Corby said. “Almost accomplished everything that we wanted to do. If he would have won the 1,500, I wouldn’t have cared anything about the mass start.”
Stolz offered a similar assessment of his second trip to the Olympics; he had results of 13th and 14th at the [2022 Beijing Games]when he was 17.
“I thought it was pretty successful: Two golds and a silver, that’s pretty good,” he said. “There’s some things that could have been better, but overall I’m pretty happy with it.”
Bergsma added this gold to his bronze in the 10,000 meters earlier in Milan. He now has a total of five Olympic medals, including a gold in the 10,000 way back in 2014.
The gold in the women’s mass start also went to a Dutch skater: reigning world champion Marijke Groenewoud, who hadn’t finished better than seventh in her other three races. Ivanie Blondin of Canada was the silver medalist for the second Games in a row, followed by Mia Manganello of the U.S. with the bronze.
Blondin helped Canada win a second consecutive team pursuit gold earlier at these Olympics. The 36-year-old Manganello, this season’s World Cup champion in the mass start, took a victory lap with a U.S. flag after the final race of her career.
Bergsma and Thorup left the rest of the men’s field behind in the 16-lap race.
Eventually, Bergsma went out in front alone, with enough of a lead that he could coast home during the final backstretch, pausing to spread his arms wide, pump his fists overhead and blow kisses to the sizable group of Dutch spectators at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium.
Later, waiting to walk out to the podium for the medal ceremony, Bergsma turned to Giovannini and said about the race: “I couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘Is this really happening?’”
Stolz, meanwhile, couldn’t really understand what had transpired, either.
“I guess you just have to expect the unexpected from what people are going to do. Like in the mass start, you would think that they would want to chase more to try and to catch Jorrit, being that I already have two gold medals and the guys who are the gold medal favorites in the mass start didn’t want to chase,” Stolz said. “So, yeah, I wouldn’t have expected that.”
