She previously took home a silver medal in the 1,000 meters from the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. But on top of that, Dutch athlete Jutta won gold in the women’s allround and 1,500m at the World Junior Championships in Finland back in 2017, and has since made a name for herself both within and outside of the sporting world.

Jutta turned pro in 2018 and soon became a member of team IKO after earning her title as the Dutch junior sprint champion.

She’s since won in the 1,000m at the 2020 World Single Distances Championships and defended her title in 2023, winning gold on both occasions.

Her Instagram boasts over five million followers and whilst that’s little compared to Jake Paul’s 28 million, it’s not bad for an Olympian.

Sh’s set to compete both today and on Sunday

Jutta’s first event in Milan will come today and will be in the 1,000 meters.

She then is scheduled to race again on Sunday February 15th in the 500, in which American Erin Jackson is the reigning Olympic champion.
