At the 2018 Winter Olympics, her first Olympic Games, Achtereekte took a surprise gold medal in the 3000 metres, leading home team-mates Ireen Wüst and Antoinette de Jong in a Dutch clean sweep of the podium, despite never having won a World Cup race.[4] On the 23rd of March 2018 she was awarded Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau by King Willem-Alexander.[5]
