China's Ning Zhongyan set an Olympic record on his way to gold in the men's speed skating over 1,500 metres on Thursday, denying United States' Jordan Stolz a hat-trick of individual gold medals at the Milan/Cortina Winter Games.
Stolz was trying to become the second American − Eric Heiden won five in 1980 − to win four individual medals in a single Winter Olympics.
Jordan Stolz came into the 1,500 meters a heavy favorite to win a third gold medal at the 2026 Olympics. But China's Zhongyan Ning staged an upset.
Italy upstaged world record-holding Team USA to win gold in the 2026 Winter Olympics men's speed skating team pursuit Tuesday in Milan.
