Jutta Leerdam once again demonstrated why she's one of the planet's most captivating athletes. The Olympic speed skating champion temporarily traded the ice for the stands of New York to attend the US Open, but revealed an unexpected side effect of her time at Flushing Meadows on social media: the Dutch star literally lost her voice from cheering so loudly for her favorites in the tournament.
Accompanied by her fiancé, influencer and boxer Jake Paul, the 27-year-old athlete was a prominent figure in the luxury boxes of the American complex. Leerdam passionately cheered on fellow countryman Botic van de Zandschulp and star Aryna Sabalenka, fully embracing her role as a fervent fan.
Beyond the infectious enthusiasm that left her hoarse, the skater's bold style once again set the internet ablaze and stole attention away from the court.
