Maurilio De Zolt (born September 29, 1950 in San Pietro di Cadore, Province of Belluno) is an Italian cross country skier who competed from 1980 to 1997. His best known victory was part of the 4 x 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 1 gold (50 km: 1987), 3 silvers (50 km: 1985, 4 x 10 km: 1985, 1993), and 2 bronzes (15 km: 1985, 50 km: 1991).

At the Opening Ceremony for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin on February 10, he and his 4 x 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. Eighteen years earlier, at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, De Zolt carried the Italian flag during the opening ceremonies.

De Zolt was formerly a firefighter, and once placed second in ladder climbing at the World Fireman Championships.^[4]
