KEWASKUM, Wis. (CBS 58) -- It's been a wild start to 2026 for Kewaskum's Jordan Stolz. But now, he's actually home. CBS 58 Sports Director Lance Allan got to sit down with Stolz for his first interview since arriving back in the U.S., with two golds and a silver.

"It's nice to be back to finally look back at you know, the Games and the medals I've won," Three-time Olympic medalist Jordan Stolz said.

Jordan Stolz has earned it as the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian of these Games.

"It's pretty cool to have that title," Stolz said from his kitchen table. "I like it. It's nice to do it for the country, representing the U.S."

When he got that first gold medal, CBS 58 Sports Director Lance Allan was there in Milan, Italy. It was an emotional moment. Was it emotional for him?

"I guess it was emotional," the two-time gold medalist and one-time silver medalist Stolz said with a laugh. "I wouldn't say I cried or anything but it was emotional, you know to finally win and look back at all the years of training and know that it paid off."

It's his first time back to his rural Kewaskum home after a whirlwind two months.

"The best part was you know being able to win a gold medal in the 1000 meter," Stolz says of his 1000 meters gold before winning gold in the 500 and silver in the 1500. "Just finally being able to win, you know one. And make yourself an Olympic champion. Of course I wanted to win more but just to have that set in stone, to finally be Olympic champion? I think that was the most fun part."

Between the trading cards and public recognition -- Stolz is a big deal. 

"It's pretty cool to I guess be considered at that level," Stolz said.

Now, everybody knows about him and they want a piece of his time, and they look at him in a different light.

"I did get recognized on the plane like coming back here [to Milwaukee], so that was kind of nice to be recognized in the U.S.," Stolz says. "That's kind of cool. Of course, it's not you know on the same level as like Holland where I walk down the street in Amsterdam and people ask for photos or just randomly invite me into their house. This one guy was like I don't know, I was just walking outside. We went to get coffee and he's like waving at me through his window and he's telling me to come inside. And you know, I just kept walking and then he comes outside and he wants to give me a house tour of his special 1700s mansion. And I got to go inside. I don't know who he is but he'll give me a house tour just because it's me right?"
