In the women's 1,000m race on the morning of February 10th, Leerdam achieved her goal of winning the gold medal and breaking the Olympic record with a time of 1 minute 12 seconds 31. In the stands, Jake Paul stood up, covering his face and sobbing uncontrollably alongside Leerdam's family. Everyone was unable to hide their tears of happiness witnessing the peak moment of the 27-year-old's achievement.
Leerdam overtook her teammate Femke Kok, who had just set a record of 1 minute 12 seconds 59 minutes earlier. This result earned Kok the silver medal, while the bronze went to Miho Takagi (Japan) with a time of 1 minute 13 seconds 95.
For Leerdam, the gold medal at Milan Cortina holds special significance. This is her first Winter Olympic gold medal, following her silver medal at Beijing 2022.
Her journey was once seriously threatened when Leerdam unexpectedly collapsed during the Netherlands' Olympic qualifying round, casting doubt on her chances of participating in the Games. Ultimately, she was given the trust and repaid it with an outstanding performance, proving the coaching staff's decision was entirely correct.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul is no stranger to expressing his emotions publicly. His joy at the Winter Olympics contrasts sharply with the boxer's recent outbursts on social media.
However, the moment Leerdam broke the record, all controversy faded away, giving way to tears of pure joy.
Paul and Leerdam got engaged in March 2025. And at Milan Cortina, they reached one of the most brilliant peaks of their careers and emotions together.
