JUTTA LEERDAM wept as she sensationally broke the Olympic record to claim speed skating gold – in front of fiancé Jake Paul and the King of Holland.

The most famous woman in the sport delivered when it mattered as she triumphed in the 1,000 metres event at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium.

Countrywoman Femke Kok, the World Cup leader, went faster than anyone had ever done before at the Olympics with a mark of 1:12.59.

But then a few minutes later, Leerdam, 27, incredibly broke that mark by 0.28 seconds in a performance of spectacular skating.

She managed to outsprint Japan’s Miho Takagi, the reigning Olympic champion from Beijing, in the final pairing, and sent her fans wild as she crossed the line.

Paul, the celebrity YouTuber and pro boxer, could not quite believe it as she managed to upgrade the silver she had claimed four years ago in China.

And she got a Royal Seal of Approval as the King of her country has made the trip to see the Dutch 1-2.

Leerdam may have had her fair share of criticism from fans and the media for hitching a private jet to Italy and then skipping the Opening Ceremony at the San Siro.

But nobody could criticise the way she skated here and how he managed to lay down the best ever seen at this level.

Tears rolled down her eyes and this ruined her black mascara, which streaked down her chin.
