The Netherlands has secured five consecutive gold medals in the 1500-meter speed skating event across several Winter Olympics.
NU.nl, a Dutch news outlet, reports on this achievement.
The gold medal winners for the 1500 meters from the Netherlands are Ireen Wüst in 2010, Jorien ter Mors in 2014, Ireen Wüst again in 2018 and 2022, and most recently Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong in 2026. This streak highlights the country’s dominance in this particular speed skating event over the past five Olympic Games.
