Maurilio De Zolt (born 29 September 1950 in San Pietro di Cadore, Province of Belluno) is an Italian cross-country skier who competed internationally from 1977 to 1997. His best known victory was part of the 4 × 10 km relay team that upset Norway at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, when he was 43 years old. He also won two silver medals in the Winter Olympics at 50 km (1988, 1992).
Biography
De Zolt also won six medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, including one gold (50 km: 1987), three silvers (50 km: 1985, 4 × 10 km relay: 1985, 1993), and two bronzes (15 km: 1985, 50 km: 1991).
At the Opening Ceremony for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin on 10 February, he and his 4 × 10 km relay teammates (Giorgio Vanzetta, Marco Albarello, and Silvio Fauner) who won the gold at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, were among the last carriers of the Olympic torch before it was lit by fellow Italian cross-country skier Stefania Belmondo.
De Zolt was formerly a firefighter, and once placed second in ladder climbing at the World Fireman Championships.[1]
