Wisconsin-US teen Jordan Stolz is first man to win three individual golds at speed skating worlds.

No man had ever won three individual titles at world champs 18-year-old started skating on a pond in his family’s backyard

His victory in the 1500m went alongside earlier wins in the 500m and 1000m. His time of 1 minute, 43.59 seconds on Sunday in the 1500m was good enough to beat double Olympic champion Kjeld Nuis of the Netherlands by 23 hundredths of a second.

Stolz took up skating on his family’s three-acre backyard pond in the small Wisconsin village of Kewaskum, about 45 minutes north of Milwaukee. He had been inspired by watching Apolo Anton Ohno’s short-track exploits at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics on television. After initially training in short track, he moved toward the long track after a few years and began winning national championships when he was in fifth grade.

There have been several threads over the last few days saying GOP or Trump or MTG had bad days

I'm not an attorney, BUT this posting translated into a bad day for me. I had to walk away and do other things.

It got only eight recs, and it got lost, possibly being seen as less important than "cats."

Michael Popok for the Midas Touch suggests the real reason McCarthy turned over the tapes is because
of the legal issue of "Brady Evidence"

If he is correct, then we are a long way off from indictments turning into trials turning into prison sentences.

Somebody tell me I'm wrong, but this WAS BAD NEWS FOR OUR SIDE, is the way I saw it.
