American speed skating sensation Jordan Stolz was a -1400 favorite to win the gold medal in Thursday’s 1,500 meters Speed Skating Final. He had to settle for silver, as China’s Zhongyan Ning took home top honors as a 10/1 outsider.

Stolz, who already won two gold medals and set a pair of world records at the 2026 Winter Olympics before the 1,500M, finished 0.77 seconds off the gold-medal pace.

Stolz is -1400 to stand atop the podium on Thursday, meaning that he was tagged with roughly a 93.3 percent chance of winning when you convert the odds to implied probability.

Those odds may have seemed outrageous, but it’s hard to blame the bookies for setting such a short price given what we saw from Stolz in Northern Italy prior to Thursday morning.

The native of Kewaskum, Wisc., not only won gold in the men’s 500 meters and 1,000 meters, but he did it in style, setting world records in both runs.

Stolz crossed the finish line in 33.77 seconds for the 500m, and then crushed the competition in 1:06.28 in the 1,000m.

He will also compete in the Men’s Mass Start Speed Skating event on Sunday. His price for that race is not nearly as eye-popping, but he’s still an odds-on favorite to win gold at -145.

A total of 20 men competed in the 1,500 meters on Thursday, but only four of them, including Stolz, went off priced under 30/1.

Ning and Kjeld Nuis of the Netherlands were the second favorites at 10/1, while Joep Wennemars was the fourth choice at a robust price of 25/1.
