The Dutch star won a gold medal in the 1000m race, which is her fourth consecutive first-place finish in the event.

The 23-year-old’s latest triumph saw her finish in under one minute and 13 seconds.

The speed skater revealed the secret behind her recent success as she said she uses her “extra fat” to her advantage.

Leerdam told NPO Radio 1: “I have become stronger and heavier. I now use that extra fat as strength.”

The star athlete shares all of her success on the ice in her social media pages.

That has led to over 3million followers on her growing Instagram profile.

And her online presence was boosted after her success in Canada.

Leerdam said after the race: “The race wasn’t perfect, especially my opener, as I had a miss-stroke at the start but eventually I skated a 26.2 lap.
