Short answer: No. As of August 2026, Jordan Stolz, the American Olympic speed skater, has no documented connection to Israel, no public statements about Israel, and no Jewish identity. He is from Wisconsin, and his public comments center on training, racing, and representing the United States, not international politics.
What Jordan Stolz has actually said and done
- May 21, 2004: Jordan Stolz was born in West Bend, Wisconsin, and raised in nearby Kewaskum, according to Wikipedia.

Why there is no Israel angle to report
Jordan Stolz is an American long-track speed skater who has become one of the sport's most dominant figures, winning multiple world titles from 2023 through 2025 and capping his rise with two golds and a silver at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. No reputable source identifies him as Jewish or ties him to Israel: no visits, no charitable giving, no public statements on the Israel-Gaza war, no boycott activity in either direction, and no event appearances connected to Israel or Jewish organizations. What he has spoken about publicly is training, competition, family, and pride in representing the United States, including pushing back on other athletes' negative comments about representing the U.S. None of that touches Israel or the Middle East in any way. This is simply a case of an athlete with no public record on the subject, rather than a documented pro- or anti-Israel stance.
The bottom line
There is no evidence Jordan Stolz supports or opposes Israel. He has never addressed the subject publicly, has no Jewish-identity connection, and his public profile is built entirely around speed skating and his Wisconsin upbringing. This record is based on Wikipedia, Olympics.com, Team USA, and Forbes coverage through the 2026 Winter Olympics, and nothing has surfaced to change that as of August 2026.
