Jutta Leerdam is a Dutch and international speed skater who also causes sensation off the ice and made a name for herself on social media. Discover the career and life of one of the world's biggest winter sports stars.

Born in 1998

Leerdam was born on 30 December 1998 in the Dutch town of 's-Gravenzande.

Junior World Champion

She enjoyed early success in her skating career. In 2017, she won the all-round world title at the World Junior Championships.

Dutch sprint championships

After that, Leerdam failed to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics, but she did go on to become Dutch sprint champion.

World champion

In 2019, she took her first ever world title in the women's team sprint. The following year, she added two more world titles to her tally in Salt Lake City.

Koen Verweij

At the time, Leerdam was in a relationship with former Dutch speed skater Koen Verweij.
