Jake Paul's Fiancee Jutta Leerdam Comments on 2026 Olympic Hopes and Crash in Trials

Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam said she's "still in shock" after her crash during trials for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

"I will most likely see you at the Olympics in Milan for the 500m! 🥹" said Leerdam, who's the fiancée of social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul, in an Instagram post Monday. "A very unfortunate moment during my best distance, the 1000m on Friday. Now we wait and hope I get the opportunity to skate the distance I've won multiple World Cup golds in this season."

The 26-year-old was the silver medalist in the 1,000 meters at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Her hopes of competing in that event for the Milano Cortina Games were all but dashed last week.

Her fate rests in the hands of the Dutch Olympic Committee, and they could be swayed by her two World Cup victories this season.

Leerdam also skated in the 500 meters at the Dutch trials and had a second-place showing Sunday.

While that distance isn't her specialty, getting to represent the Netherlands in the upcoming Olympics would clearly be a source of great pride.
