Everything you want to know about Jutta Leerdam

In such a streamlined morphsuit, they all look alike, those skaters. Until they glide over the finish line, that zipper opens, and they take off their goggles. Then we, as viewers, finally see a face behind the little aliens. And in the case of Jutta (which you pronounce as Joeta), that's no punishment. Because when Jutta pulls down her hood, a mane of blonde hair swings out, even Rapunzel would be jealous. Jutta Leerdam is the prettiest and since yesterday also the fastest. She takes first place during the Dutch Sprint Championships in Heerenveen. This is everything you need to know about this newcomer.

With her winged eyeliner, she flies over the ice rink, with Koen Verweij on the sidelines cheering her on. Because those two are a couple. And we think that's wonderful. By the way, Jutta is only 20 years old. Just as old and just as beautiful as Mikky Kiemeney, the sporty girlfriend of Frenkie de Jong. I see a friendship forming.

Jutta's Instagram account is also worth following. Ninety thousand others have already done so. Her sports achievements are great, but when it comes to her 1 meter 81 long body: better call Jutta tall. She rightly tapped Erben Wennemars on the fingers at the table during De Wereld Draait Door.

That face of Jutta brightens up the average skating competition quite a bit and also attracts a different kind of sponsors. While all of Thialf rides in suits from KPN, Eneco, or Corendon, Jutta has NIKKIE (from Nikkie Plessen) on her chest. And I think it won't be long before a L'Oréal or Andrélon is added to that.

Jutta Leerdam, we are very big fans of you.
