Stolz and Manganello Set for Olympic Mass Start Showdown
As the Milan 2026 Olympics wrap speed skating, the final mass start pits rising star Jordan Stolz and veteran Mia Manganello for the U.S. in a 16‑lap, four-interval race with semifinals advancing the top skaters. Stolz has quickly risen from junior bronze to World Cup gold and could become only the second American to win three events at a single Games if he takes gold, a feat first achieved by Eric Heiden; Manganello, 36, is chasing medals toward the end of a standout season. The event is streamed on Peacock/NBC platforms.
