Jordan Stolz, a two-time Olympic gold and a silver medalist, is getting a hometown hero parade in Kewaskum. And the public is invited.
On Friday, April 10, the parade will begin at 4 p.m. It will end with a Q&A with Stolz, according to a news release from the Village of Kewaskum.
"This is about more than celebrating an incredible athlete - it's about celebrating what's possible for every young person in our community," Kewaskum Village President Fuzz Martin said in the release.
"Jordan's story shows that kids with hard work, support, and determination, they can achieve amazing things," Martin said. "I'm especially excited to see our entire community come together to show our appreciation for Jordan's accomplishments and for the dedication he has shown."
During the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, the 21-year-old Stolz broke the speed skating record in the men's 1,000 meters with a time of 1:06.28 to win a gold medal on the first day of competition. He broke another Olympic record in the 500 meters with a time of 33.77 for another gold. He then took silver in the 1,500 meters with a time of 1:42.75.
Stolz won two golds at the World Cup in Inzell, Germany, Jan. 24 and 25, 2026. He took gold in both the 1,000 and 1,500 meters and had two second-place finishes in the 500 meters.
In 2023, at age 18, he became the youngest person to win the 500 at the ISU World Single Distance Championships in the Netherlands before winning the 1,000 and the 1,500 over the next two days.
He also competed in the Beijing, China2022 Olympics in the 500 meters, where he finished 13th, and in the 1,000 meters, where he finished 14th.
The parade will begin at the Kewaskum Public Library, 1225 Fond du Lac Ave., and will proceed to the Kewaskum High School Field House, 1510 Bilgo Lane, for a Q&A with Stolz.
If the weather does not cooperate, there will be just the Q & A in the field house.
The parade will begin at the Kewaskum Public Library, then right onto Main Street, then left onto Parkview Drive, and finally left onto Third Street before ending at Kewaskum High School.
