Biography

Schulting took up short track speed skating when she was eight years old, in Thialf, Heerenveen. She won a gold medal in the 1500m event at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Sofia.[2]

At the 2018 Winter Olympics she won a bronze medal in the women's 3000 metre relay[3] and a gold medal in the women's 1000 metres. This was the first time the Netherlands had ever won a gold medal in short track speed skating. At twenty years old she is the second youngest Dutch gold medalist in any discipline at a Winter Olympics.[4] In December 2018, she was named the Dutch Sportswoman of the Year.[5]

In the 2019 season she became the overall European and world champion. In 2020 she renewed her European title while the World Championships were cancelled. In the 2021 season she once again won gold medals in both the European and World Championships, winning every single race she started in.[6]

Schulting studies at the Dutch Language Institute (NTI) in Leiden.[2]
