Jutta Leerdam Turns Up The Heat In Steamy Shower Bikini Snap

Jutta Leerdam is proving she can generate just as much buzz off the ice as she does on it. A steamy photo of the Dutch speed skating champion has resurfaced online through a fan account, showing the athlete enjoying what appears to be a tropical outdoor shower moment in a barely-there patterned bikini. With water cascading down her back and her long blonde hair slicked wet against her shoulders, the Olympic athlete gave fans a completely different look from her usual race-day gear.

In the snap, Leerdam is turned slightly away from the camera, adjusting her hair as sunlight hits her skin. The setting appears tropical, complete with stone walls and lush plants framing the scene. The minimal bikini and glossy, sun-kissed glow quickly caught attention, and the repost didn’t take long to rack up engagement.

The fan account tagged her by name and directed followers for more, while the comment section filled with fire emojis, heart eyes, and praise. The post has already collected thousands of likes, proving once again that Leerdam’s following extends far beyond the speed skating world.

While Leerdam continues to turn heads with glamorous photos off the ice, she’s also been making headlines for what happened on it. The organizers of the 2026 Winter Olympics have officially cleared the 27-year-old Dutch speed skater of any violations after she briefly exposed her sports bra while celebrating a gold medal victory earlier this month.

The decision, announced last weekend, brings an end to the controversy that erupted following her emotional moment at the Milano Cortina Games.

The incident occurred on February 9, when Leerdam secured gold and set a new Olympic record in the women’s 1,000-meter event. Overcome with emotion, she unzipped her racing suit, revealing a white sports bra from a major sportswear brand. Images of the tearful champion quickly spread worldwide, sparking debate over Olympic regulations surrounding unauthorized brand visibility. Marketing analysts later estimated the exposure could potentially translate into as much as $1 million in sponsorship value.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has since confirmed that unzipping a competition suit after a race is a routine practice among speed skaters to cool down, dismissing speculation that the moment was an intentional marketing stunt.

Since turning professional in 2018, the Dutch standout has stacked up an Olympic gold medal, two Olympic silvers, and five world championship titles, solidifying her status as one of speed skating’s most dominant forces.

But her impact doesn’t stop at the finish line.

With more than 6.3 million Instagram followers, Leerdam has grown into a digital powerhouse as well. Media outlets have dubbed her both the “Ice Queen” and the “Social Media Queen,” a nod to how seamlessly she balances elite athletic performance with an enormous online presence.

Her relationship with YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul has also widened her global spotlight, introducing her to an even broader audience. Following her recent Olympic victory, two of her celebratory posts quickly exploded with engagement.
