Speed skater Jutta Leerdam of The Netherlands is a force to be reckoned with in her sport. She has worn multiple gold medals at the Speed Skating World Championships.
At just 24 years old, she is already one of the most decorated athletes in her sport. Jutta Leerdman won 4 gold medals in 2022 including a gold medal at the World Cup of Speed Skating in Calgary, Canada.
She has emerged as one of the most popular athletes in her field. And with that popularity, Jutta Leerdam has amassed a massive following on social media. She has over 4.1 million followers on Instagram and has gained a million followers since December.
And her success on social media is deserved. She currently sits 4th in the World Cup Standings for the women’s 2022-23 ISU World Cup 500m season. She also finished 2nd in the 1000m rankings this season.
Jutta Leerdam was recently on vacation in Tulum, Mexico. While there she wowed her followers with an extreme breath training video where she showed off her athleticism underwater in a crystal clear cenote.
Her followers wrote:
“I think she was practicing her skating but she was so hot the ice melted.”
“The ice-queen just became the little mermaid.”
While she was on vacation in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Jutta Leerdam shared photos of her new blue bikini:
Prior to vacationing in Mexico, Leerdam was partying in Miami with a stop at the Boss fashion show where fellow European athlete Alica Schmidt was walking the runway as a model. Here she wrote “off to Miami” before the festivities.
Her speed skating season wrapped up at the start of March with a gold medal in the 1000 meter.
Prior to racing, Jutta Leerdam’s warmup went viral on Instagram:
The 2023-24 Speed Skating season likely won’t begin until November. So it will be a long offseason full of content for Jutta Leerdam’s followers, and it’s doubtful anyone will complain.
