Utah Leirdam (27), the 'two-time winner' of the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, will leave for the Netherlands on a private jet of 'engaged man' Jake Paul (29).
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 16th (local time) that Leyrdam (27), who won two Winter Olympics medals, felt deeply lonely because he was separated from his fiancée Paul.
Leirdam won a silver medal in the women's 500m final of the speed skating competition at Milan Speed Skating Stadium in Italy on the 15th. The gold medal was won by teammate Femke Kok. Leyrdam, who won the gold medal in the women's 1,000m a week ago, won her second medal of the competition.
After the race, Iridam said, "I didn't think for a second that I would win a gold medal after the race. "I knew Femke would be faster, and she deserves to be a champion," he said. "The silver medal was the best possible result because she lacked speed a little bit at the start. A few years ago, I thought a 500m medal was impossible, so it's very special," he said.
Behind the spectacular performance was a man's grievance. "Leirdam had to stay at the Dutch training camp for a long time to maintain his best skills, and in the process, he had to endure the loneliness of a 'long-distance relationship', missing several matches between his fiancée, YouTube star and professional boxer Jake Paul," the media said.
"I had to sacrifice a lot of time, my family, and my loved ones," Leirdam said. "It was sometimes quite lonely not to be able to spend time with anyone, always focusing on training." "I couldn't rest properly, but it was worth it because I wanted to do my best," he added.
With 6 million Instagram followers, she said social media activities during her training period became a support to protect her mental health. Leirdam said, "I create content because I want to inspire as many women and girls as possible," adding, "The support and energy of the fans are a great help. It is a positive factor that helps you not be buried in skating 24 hours a day."
Now the attention is on whether she will retire or not. Leyrdam is at the crossroads of whether to embark on another four-year journey for the 2030 French Alps Winter Olympics amid speculation that he will take off his skates at the end of the tournament.
"My career feels complete," Leyrdam said of his future course of action. "I achieved everything I wanted to achieve," he said. "But speed skating is still my passion, and I love the thrill of speed. It's not something you can give up easily," he said. He said, "I'll see how I'll feel in the summer and decide after considering everything."
After a successful competition, Leyrdam is expected to return to the Netherlands via his fiancé Jake Paul's private jet.
