Stolz shatters track records to win two golds at ISU World Cup in Hamar

Hamar (Norway), Dec 13 (UNI) American sensation Jordan Stolz continued his record-breaking run at the ISU World Cup, claiming the men's 500m and 1,500m gold medals with new track records.
The 21-year-old arrived in Hamar fresh off a dominant performance last weekend in Heerenveen, the Netherlands, where he secured golds in the 500m, 1,000m, and 1,500m events, setting three new track records in the process. Continuing his momentum, he finished the first 500m race at the Hamar Olympic Hall in 33.97 seconds in the eighth pair with Dutchman Jenning de Boo, who beat Stolz to win the World Championships on the exact same rink in a then track record time of 34.24s.
"It's too many (track record) plaques to fit in my suitcase," Stolz joked after his victory, as quoted by the ISU official website. "I need to have my mom bring them home."
