Career

[edit]
Leerdam (2018)

Leerdam became the junior world champion at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland. The following year, at the 2018 Championships in Salt Lake City, United States, she finished second behind compatriot Joy Beune.[1]

During the 2017–18 season, she won the ISU Junior World Cup competition in the 1000m and 1500m events. She also became the Dutch junior sprint champion.

In 2018, she turned professional and became a member of Team IKO.[2]

Since turning professional Leerdam won the 1000m world title twice (2020 and 2023), silver at that distance at the 2022 Winter Olympics and also the gold medal at the World Sprint Championships in 2022. Leerdam joined Team Jumbo-Visma in 2022 and is under contract until 2024.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Leerdam was named after the German windsurfing world champion Jutta Müller by her father, a windsurfing enthusiast. Her great-niece Dione Voskamp is also a speed skater.[4] Leerdam studies commercial economics at the Johan Cruyff Academy of the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen.[5]

Leerdam was in a relationship with Dutch speed skater Koen Verweij beginning in 2017.[6] On 1 August 2022, she announced on her Instagram page that they had broken up.[7] Leerdam and American social media personality and professional boxer Jake Paul publicly confirmed being a couple on 3 April 2023, after the two had gotten in touch via Instagram a few months earlier.[8]
