Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam has arrived at Milano Cortina 2026 in style.
The Beijing 2022 silver medallist posted a series of photos on Instagram from a private plane, which was decked out in bunting in the Netherlands’ famous orange colour.
Leerdam and friends also tucked into personalised cupcakes, which like the bunting featured the Dutch flag, Olympic rings, and read “Succes Jutta” – which translates to “Good luck Jutta”.
And when it comes to actual success, the 27-year-old will be going for gold in multiple events, including her signature 1000m at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium.
Leerdam is a seven-time world champion and is also listed to compete in the 500m, in which she won world silver last year.
The Dutch are also the reigning world champions in the team sprint, giving Leerdam multiple shots at the podium.
“Time to shine,” Jake Paul replied to her Instagram post, the YouTuber turned boxer who is Leerdam’s fiancé following their engagement last year.
