Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Ning Zhongyan won the men's 1,500-meter race in an Olympic-record 1:41.98, denying Jordan Stolz the gold.

Joep Wennemars briefly set an Olympic record earlier in the event before Ning lowered it, illustrating how fast the Milan Speed Skating Oval produced times.

Ning said he "still did not think the gold was mine" and called the victory an "amazing feeling," while Stolz said he "didn't quite have the legs" and was "still happy with silver."

Stolz, 21, now has two golds and one silver at these Games, Ning, 26, claimed his first Olympic gold and his third medal of the Games, and Kjeld Nuis took bronze.

Stolz has one remaining event, the mass start on Saturday, where he can still attempt to add another Olympic gold.

Analysis

Compare how each side frames the story — including which facts they emphasize or leave out.

Center-leaning sources frame Stolz's Olympic run with celebratory, hero-making editorial choices: evaluative verbs ('skyrocketed'), evocative comparisons ('Michael Phelps of speedskating', parallels to Eric Heiden), and selective emphasis on laudatory experts and peers. Source content includes many praising quotes, but the coverage omits skeptical context and maintains a triumphant narrative.
