Ning won in an Olympic-record time of 1 minute, 41.98 seconds. Stolz, skating in the day's last heat, finished 0.77 off the pace, and adds a silver to the golds he claimed earlier at these Winter Games in the 500 and 1,000. The 21-year-old from Wisconsin will participate in his last race, the mass start, on Saturday.

The U.S. speedskating star finishes second in the 1,500 behind Ning Zhongyan of China. Stolz still has two golds and a silver in these Games.

Jordan Stolz now has a silver medal to add to his two gods, which the 21-year-old phenom already claimed at 500 and 1,000 meters. He was the favorite in Thursday's 1,500-meter final, but came in second to China’s Zhongyan Ning. Kjeld Nuis took bronze.

Speed skating is in the spotlight for the Stoltz family, but so is another unique profession.
