MILAN — After Jordan Stolz won his first gold medal, setting an Olympic record in Wednesday’s 1,000-meter speedskating competition, the hardware did not leave his sight. Not since Eric Heiden’s five golds in 1980 has an American man won multiple speedskating gold medals at a single Olympics. “I’m proud to be mentioned in the same sentence as Jordan Stolz,” said Heiden, who was in the stands Saturday and gave Stolz a big hug. On Saturday, several heats away from his race, Corby found Stolz reclining in a chair peacefully. The pairing of Jordan Stolz and Jenning de Boo, pictured in the background, produced the two fastest times of the day in the men’s 500 meters.
