Olympics speed skating live results, highlights from Jordan Stolz and USA in 2026 men's team pursuit final

Jordan Stolz has already rewritten the Olympic history books twice in Milan, and he is just getting started.

By sweeping the 500m and 1,000m events in record-breaking fashion, the 21-year-old phenom became the first male skater since the legendary Eric Heiden in 1980 to claim both sprint titles at a single Winter Games. His back-to-back golds didn't just signal a changing of the guard; they established Stolz as the fighter jet of the ice, leaving the world's best sprinters battling for silver in his wake.

But the pursuit of greatness doesn't stop with individual glory. Stolz now turns his attention to the men’s team pursuit final, where he joins forces with teammates Casey Dawson and Emery Lehman to hunt for a collective gold. 

The Americans will first have to navigate a high-stakes semifinal round Tuesday morning against China to earn their spot in the final just two hours later. Having already secured his place in the pantheon of speed skating greats, Stolz has the rare opportunity to elevate Team USA to the top of the podium in an event where they have long been world-record-holding contenders. In Milan, the history books are open, and Stolz and co. still have plenty of ink left.

How does speed skating team pursuit work?

In the Olympic team pursuit, two teams of three skaters start simultaneously on opposite sides of the oval. The skaters race in a single-file line, utilizing drafting to conserve energy; the lead skater handles the wind resistance while the teammates follow closely behind to stay fresh. At various points, the leader will peel off to the back of the line, allowing a teammate to take the "pull" and maintain the high pace.

The clock doesn't stop when the first person crosses the finish line, but rather when the third and final skater of the team completes the distance (6 laps for women, 8 laps for men). This makes cohesion vital — if one skater falls behind, the entire team’s time suffers. Teams must balance raw speed with tactical pacing to ensure all three members finish as a tight unit.

The competition follows a tournament format, beginning with quarterfinals or "seeding rounds" based on time, followed by head-to-head knockout rounds (semifinals and finals). Because the teams are on the track at the same time, the race becomes a visual game of cat-and-mouse as they track each other's progress from across the oval.
