Comparisons between Olympic stars Jordan Stolz and Eric Heiden get Heiden's approval

MILAN (AP) — Lest anyone think there's something wrong with comparing current U.S. Olympic speedskating star Jordan Stolz to five-gold-medals-in-1980 Olympic speedskating star Eric Heiden, well, let's check in on what Heiden himself had to say Saturday after watching the kid win his second race at the Milan Cortina Games.

Eric Heiden was a reluctant hero

Eric Heiden won three straight world championships heading into the 1980 Olympics. In nine days in February 1980 at Lake Placid, N.Y., Heiden accomplished what no Olympian had ever done -- he won five individual gold medals in a single Olympics, be it Summer or Winter.
