Enrico Fabris (born October 5, 1981, Asiago) is an Italian long track speed
skater who has won various World Cup races and became the first European
Allround Champion from Italy when he won the 2006 European Championships
one month before the Winter Olympics in Turin. In 2007 he won also the
silver medal an in 2008 the bronze medal. Fabris is also a six-time Italian
Allround Champion.
At the 2006 Olympics he won a bronze medal in the men's 5,000 m event,
Italy's first ever Olympic medal in speed skating. Five days later, he
was in the winning team on the team pursuit event, to claim Italy's first
Olympic speed skating gold. With a time of one minute, 45.97 seconds in
the 1,500 m race, Fabris claimed his third medal and defeated American
favourites Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick to become the first non-American to win an individual men's event through
the first four races of the Turin Winter Games. On November 10th, 2007,
he took the 5,000 meter world record with 6.07.40, which he lost one week
later, when Sven Kramer skated faster in Calgary. |
