Melle van 't Wout is a Dutch short track speed skater. Born in Laren, he grew up in Bracebridge, Canada, where he and his younger brother Jens played ice hockey until concussions steered them toward short track. The family moved back to the Netherlands soon after. Melle later lost nearly two years to a knee injury that needed surgery. On his 26th birthday at Milano Cortina 2026 he took 500m silver and Jens bronze, making them the first siblings to share an individual Olympic short track podium. Two days later they won relay gold together.
Championship medals since the 2025–26 season
