Anthony J. Lobello Jr. (born August 15, 1984 in Tallahassee, Florida) is an American short track speed skater who competed for the United States at the 2006 Winter Olympics and for Italy at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[1] He also competed in the 2010 Olympics qualifying event, held in Marquette, Michigan in September 2009. [2]
With only three years of speed skating experience prior to the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, Lobello surprised the field and made the team. He is the highest ranking American (7th) in the 500-meter event for the 2008–2009 World Cup season,[3] which places him ahead of the gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno.
Lobello was named Colorado's Red-Hot Bachelor by Cosmopolitan magazine in 2005.[4] Lobello was an undergraduate student at the University of Utah, majoring in Communications.
