Jordan Stolz

Stolz was born on May 21, 2004, in West Bend, Wisconsin, the son of dental hygenist Jane and police officer Dirk Stolz, originally from Germany.{{Cite web |title=Meet the Athletes: Jordan Stolz |url=https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/meet-athletes-jordan-stolz |access-date=2023-03-06 |website=nbcolympics.com}} Stolz was 5 years old when he saw the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver on television. Stolz was motivated to try skating after being excited from seeing the speed skaters travelling fast on the ice.{{Cite web |date=2023-12-04 |title=Jordan Stolz 1178434 |url=https://www.usspeedskating.org/profiles/jordan-stolz-1178434 |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=usspeedskating.org}} His father Dirk bought skates for both Jordan and his elder daughter, Hannah.{{Cite web |date=2021-03-15 |title=Teenager Jordan Stolz of West Bend turning heads in speedskating |url=https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/teenager-jordan-stolz-of-west-bend-turning-heads-in-speedskating |access-date=2023-03-06 |website=TMJ4 News}} Dirk was very enthusiastic about his children skating and installed outdoor lighting at the family backyard pond so that both Jordan and his sister could skate at all hours.

Stolz credited Apolo Anton Ohno's and Shani Davis's successes at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver as inspiration to initially take up skating at the age of 5.
