JAKE PAUL’S fiancee was handed an Olympic lifeline for her best event – after her dramatic fall.
Jutta Leerdam crashed out in her 1,000m speed skating qualifying race last week.
And that seemingly wrecked her hopes of competing at the upcoming Winter Olympics in the 1,000m.
However, after doing enough to secure a spot in the 500m event in Milan next month, Leerdam received an additional boost.
She explained the good news to her 4.9million followers on Instagram.
Leerdam, who turned 27 on Tuesday, posted a photo in her skating uniform in front of the Olympic rings on New Year’s Day.

The seven-time world champion wrote: “See you in Milan for the 500 & 1000m!!!
“After my fall in the 1000m, I refocused, bounced back and qualified for the 500m.
“Only nine Dutch women in total can qualify for the Games.
“I was one of the nine through my 500m. With one spot on the 1000m still available, the KNSB decided to add me to the 1000m!

“What makes me happiest is that this decision doesn’t affect any other woman in the process.
“So grateful that everything worked out.
“Milan, here we come.”
Paul commented with three lock emojis – referencing her locking in her spot at the Games.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was in the stands watching on when Leerdam crashed – just a week after his knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua.
He also marked her birthday by writing online: “Happy birthday to my baby Jut. I love you.”
The couple got together in 2023 and in March announced their engagement.
