Jutta Leerdam Flaunts Her ‘Peach’ In Backless Dress Selfie

Speed skating star Jutta Leerdam knows exactly how to get the internet talking, and one mirror selfie from Miami is still doing numbers. In a 2024 Instagram post originally shared on her official account, the Dutch athlete posed in a curve-hugging white dress that left little to the imagination, especially from the back. Standing in what appeared to be a restaurant bathroom, Leerdam snapped the photo over her shoulder, showing off the dress’s dramatic low-back cut and figure-accentuating fit while holding a small clutch. Her caption kept things simple, “Dinner date night," but fans were anything but subtle in their reactions.

And yes, plenty of fans had one thing on their minds: her peach.

The comments section quickly filled with fire emojis and peach icons, with one fan writing, “Booty! You’re inspiring. Keep flying the orange flag for us Dutch peoples,” while another dropped multiple peach emojis to make their point crystal clear. Others chimed in with flames and applause emojis, clearly impressed by the athlete’s off-ice look.

Jutta Leerdam’s name has been everywhere lately for an entirely different reason: the 2026 Winter Olympics. The Dutch speed skating sensation is once again proving why she’s considered one of the sport’s biggest stars, securing her second medal of the Games on Sunday night with a silver finish in the women’s 500 meters. And just days earlier, she had already captured gold in the 1,000 meters, setting a new Olympic record in the process.

About an hour after stepping off the podium with her latest medal, Leerdam fielded a question from reporters about how she keeps up with the flood of attention that comes with Olympic success. The answer? She doesn’t... at least not right away.

“[My phone] always blows up kinda a lot,” Leerdam said with a chuckle. “I probably need a day.” In fact, she admitted she still had unopened messages from six days earlier, when she first made history in the 1,000 meters.

Jutta Leerdam’s Olympic gold may have earned her a spot atop the podium, but it could also land her a massive payday off the ice. After storming to victory in the women’s 1,000 meters, the 27-year-old Dutch speed skating star celebrated in unforgettable fashion, unzipping her racing suit to reveal a white Nike sports bra underneath, a moment that instantly went viral across social media.

According to advertising expert Frederique de Laat, founder of female athlete marketing agency Branthlete, that visibility could translate into serious money. Speaking to Dutch outlet AD, she estimated that Leerdam’s partnership with Nike could be worth well over $1 million following her Winter Olympics triumph. “With Nike, I suspect you’re looking at a figure of over a million,” de Laat said.

Unlike her first round of celebrations, Jutta Leerdam wasn’t able to fully soak in the post-race party atmosphere after claiming her second medal in Milan. The Dutch speed skating star had to skip the Netherlands’ Winter Olympics celebration at the Team NL House, but not by choice.

Leerdam revealed on social media that she had been battling an illness leading up to the race. “What a day. I woke up sick yesterday. I don't know how I pulled this off, but so happy I did,” she shared via Instagram on Sunday, February 15.

Despite feeling under the weather, the Olympic standout still powered through to secure a silver medal in the women’s 500 meters, finishing just behind teammate Femke Kok.

And while Leerdam’s medal-winning performances have dominated Olympic headlines, her personal life has also delivered a major headline-making moment. Jake Paul proposed to Dutch speed skating star Jutta Leerdam with a ring that was impossible to ignore. The Olympic medalist said yes to an oval-cut natural diamond estimated at around 10 carats, a jaw-dropping sparkler set in a classic three-stone design.

With an estimated price tag hovering near $1 million, the ring quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity engagement pieces of 2025.
