Jake Paul’s girlfriend Jutta Leerdam has been on fire during the opening weekend of the skating season in Heerenveen. The renowned Dutch speed skater has already won two events and has made a strong case for herself in the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics.

She made her Olympic debut in 2022 and came in fifth place in the women’s 500-meter race and won a silver in 1,000-meter. Since then, she has been on fire and has clinched several medals to her name with an aim to secure gold in Milan-Cortina in 2026. While competing in the World Cup qualifiers, she won the 500m race and also secured the first spot in the 1000-meter race. The sensational performance left Jake Paul quite pleased as he took to Instagram to congratulate his partner on this glorious feat.

A perfect record

Jutta Leerdam took to Instagram and posted about her sensational performance. She posted several pictures from both days and wrote, “2 wins, 100% score 🏆🏆🦁❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥,” in the caption perfectly describing her performance.

It is worth noticing that Leerdam is skating without a commercial team this season. She also assembled her coaching team by herself and is not dependent on anyone. The 2022 Winter Games silver medalist has been on a path to change the color of her medal into gold and in the 1000-meter, she does not need a commercial team. With her recent performance and her performance throughout these qualifiers, it is evident that her way is clearly working.

She won the 500-meter on Sunday, and a day later defeated Angel Daleman to secure a first place finish in the 1000-meter as well with a time of 1.13.72. These performances have motivated the Dutch skater as she feels that she can “rule the 1,000 meters again. I first thought that I would need more time, but I feel strong in terms of form and strength.” 

Leerdam will not fly to Texas to support her boyfriend Jake Paul during his fight against Mike Tyson on November 15th. However, these performances didn’t go unnoticed as Paul congratulated Leerdam and showered her with love all across the social media alongside several other World Champions.

A prideful Jake Paul lavishes praise as acclaim pours in

The 10-1 boxer commented on Leerdam’s Instagram post and wrote, “You’re her,” while being in awe of his girlfriend’s performance. ‘El Gallo’ congratulated the skater during both of her victories. On Sunday, he posted a story on his Instagram and wrote, “My baby won the 500m🥹. So proud of you.” He once again posted a story for the skater after she won the 1000-meter and wrote, “And she won the 1000m 😤😤😤😤🤫🤫🤫🤫,” silencing all her doubters.

Dutch kickboxer and heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven also congratulated her compatriot and wrote, “Lets gooo…get that W🔥.” Verhoeven is the reigning heavyweight champion in the Glory Kickboxing organization. He has held the title since 2013 and is known as the “King of Kickboxing.”

Former equestrian athlete Britt Dekker also commented and wrote, “Congratssss!!!🇳🇱🧡🧡🔥🔥,” on Leerdam’s post. Since she retired from the sport, Dekker has been a prominent figure in the Dutch entertainment industry and is famous for the show “Wie is de Mol?” (Who is the Mole?).”

With these performances, Leerdam has made a solid statement for the upcoming Winter Olympics in 2026 and if she can remain fit, we might see her winning big in Milan. She will now travel to Texas to support his boyfriend and we expect the same from Jake Paul as well during Leerdam’s Olympic event.
