"The Ice Queen" Utah Leirdam (28) beat "football star" Cristiano Ronaldo (41). His uniform, which he wore at the "2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics," was sold for a whopping 170,000 pounds (334 million won), setting a new auction site record.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 2nd (local time) that "the orange speed skating uniform worn by Olympic hero Leyrdam was sold for £170,000 on the sports equipment auction site "Match One Shirt."

"This is a figure that easily exceeds Cristiano Ronaldo's previous record for a bad uniform. Ronaldo's uniform for the Portugal national team in 2025 was sold for about 63,000 euros (about 100 million won), he said. "Leirdam's uniform rose vertically from 8,500 pounds to 170,000 pounds just hours after the auction began, proving explosive interest."

Leirdam, also known as the fiancée of Jake Paul, a famous YouTuber, won the gold medal in the women's 1,000m speed skating at the Olympics, setting an Olympic record. Shortly after crossing the finish line at the time, the scene of bursting into tears with overwhelming emotion left a deep impression on fans around the world. Fiancé Jake Paul also visited the stadium in person and cheered in tears.

In particular, Leyrdam also performed a surprise performance during the Olympics by unzipping his uniform and exposing Nike underwear. The media said, "Thanks to this dizzying happening, she would have made about $1 million (about 1.4 billion won) in additional advertising revenue."

According to the media, the proceeds from this auction will be used for meaningful purposes. The proceeds from the auction of Dutch national team players, including Leyrdam, go to the youth club where they first started playing sports as children.

The 'Fine Naker Ice Skating Club', where Leyrdam wore skates for the first time, is in a festive mood at the news of the jackpot. "I'm really happy, and I feel a heavy responsibility to use this huge amount of money well for my children," club president Johan Van Dam said.
