The suit that Jutta Leerdam wore to win two medals at the Winter Olympics in Milan has fetched €195,000 at an auction to raise money for skating clubs.

Bidding on the one-piece orange and blue outfit took off on the last day of the online auction on Saturday, when the price jumped from €9,600 in a 15-minute frenzy.

The identity of the winning bidder is not known, but the buyer from the Netherlands fought off competition from countries including Germany, Mexico and the United States.

The proceeds will go to Pijnacker skating club, in the Westland region, where the 27-year-old Leerdam, from nearby ’s-Gravenzande, began her skating career 16 years ago.

Club official Jacqueline van Winden, who had hoped for a winning bid of around €15,000, told Omroep West: “This is incredible. We were absolutely astonished as we watched it.”

She said the club had not decided how to spend the money. “I want to discuss it with NOC*NSF and the Leerdam family first,” Van Winden said. “And of course I want to thank them as well.”

The suit was one of 86 outfits and items worn by the Dutch speed skating team that were put up for sale by the Olympic committee and sports federation NOC*NSF to support local clubs.

Leerdam wore it when she won her gold medal in the 1,000m and silver behind team-mate Femke Kok in the 500m a few days later.

The second most prized item was the jacket Leerdam wore at the closing ceremony, which fetched €4,826. The third highest winning bid of €4,602 was for the suit Kok wore for the 500m, 1000m and 1500m.

Further down the scale, Kjeld Nuis’s suit for his final €1500m race, where he won bronze, sold for €1,010 and the flag carried by Jens van ’t Wout and Kimberley Bos at the opening ceremony went for €400.

The headband that held back Jorrit Bergsma’s mullet as the 40-year-old won bronze and the 10,000m and mass start fetched €370.
