Milan, 17 February (LaPresse) – She is undoubtedly the star athlete of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, at least in Milan: we are talking about Jutta Leerdam. The attractive Dutch skater, Olympic champion in the 1000m speed skating event, is the “gold medallist” for the most social athlete, having generated “over 100 million engagements to date”, according to the IOC during a press conference at the Main Media Centre. Still on the subject of social media, the IOC reports that 1.3 billion engagements (likes, shares, comments and all other types of interactions) have been recorded, an average of 500,000 per athlete and a total of 900 million followers.
