Nineteen-year-old Jordan Stolz has become the youngest allround speedskating world champion since Eric Heiden and the first American to win the title since Shani Davis. Stolz started the day with a new track record in the 1,500 meters at Max Aicher Arena by crossing the line in 1 minute, 41.78 seconds.

“I’ve been beaten by a phenomenon,” said Roest, a three-time world champion who settled for the runner-up spot this time behind Stolz. “He is just incredibly strong, he can handle all distances and he even defeats long-distance specialists in their own event. What he does is quite special.” Last month, Stolz won world titles in the 500, 1,000 and 1,500m at the single distance championships in Calgary. His performance at the allround championships capped one of the greatest seasons in speedskating history.
