Jutta Leerdam's arrival in Italy for the Winter Games was greeted with headlines calling hera diva for flying on a private jetand criticizing her for skipping the Opening Ceremony.
Over on Screencaps, the "World's Hottest Speed Skater" had the red carpet pulled out to mark her arrival at the Olympics. I think it's obvious which approach to the Dutch speed skater's arrival is the better one.

To her credit, Jutta didn’t let the diva insults bother her at all. She went out for her first event, the 1,000m last Monday, and took the gold medal while setting a new Olympic record.
The 27-year-old fiancée of Jake Paul thensnatched a silver medal Sundayin the 500m. She finished less than a second behind fellow Dutch speed skater Femke Kok, who took home the gold with a record of her own.
The diva claims sent her way did absolutely nothing to slow Jutta down. To cap it all off and make those haters hate her even more, her gold medal-winning performance could have come with a seven-figure payday.
It wasn’t so much the performance itself. It was Jutta Leerdam's post-race victory unzip of her speed suit and the reveal of her Nike sports bra that caused the buzz surrounding a potential payday.
Two medals and a sports bra celebration that could be worth more than $1 million. Not a bad Olympic showing for a private jet flying, record-setting, medal-winning diva.
Frederique de Laat, an advertising expert and the founder of the female athlete marketing agency Branthlete, is the one who claims that Jutta could receive the hefty bonus.
The Sunreports that Laat told the Dutch outlet AD, "With Nike, I suspect you’re looking at a figure of over a million."
