Exclusive capsule collection 'Stieglitz x Suzanne Schulting' featuring 5 pieces, a collaboration with the Dutch Olympic speed skating champion.
Samsung Benelux sponsored Suzanne Schulting in her preparations for the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, contributing to the development of the Samsung SmartSuit.
Suzanne Schulting was born on September 25, 1997, in Groningen, Netherlands. She began short track speed skating at the age of eight in Thialf, Heerenveen. Her early career saw her achieve significant success, including a gold medal in the 1500m event at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Sofia. This early achievement set the stage for her future professional career in speed skating. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, Schulting earned the Netherlands’ first-ever gold medal in short track speed skating, winning the 1000m event. She also secured a bronze medal in the 3000m relay at the same Olympics, becoming one of the youngest Dutch Winter Olympic champions at 20 years old. In December 2018, she was recognized as the Dutch Sportswoman of the Year.
Schulting continued her dominance in short track, winning overall titles at the 2019 European Championships and 2019 World Championships. She successfully defended her European title in 2020. At the 2021 European Championships and 2021 World Championships, she was crowned overall champion, winning every race she entered, although participation from some prominent countries was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her performance at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games further solidified her status as a top athlete, where she won gold in the 1000m and the 3000m relay, setting new world and Olympic records for the 1000m. She also earned a silver medal in the 500m and a bronze medal in the 1500m, becoming the first woman to earn four short track speed skating medals at a single Olympics. She was the top-ranked short track skater on the World Cup for four consecutive seasons from 2018-2019 to 2022-2023. Schulting aims to compete in both short track and long track speed skating at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.
