Andrus Veerpalu, born on 8 February 1971, is a retired Estonian cross-country skier. He is Estonia's most successful Winter Olympian, having won the gold medal in the men's 15 km classical event at both the 2002 and the 2006 Winter Olympics, and a silver medal in the men's 50 km classical event in 2002. That gives him three Olympic medals, two of them gold, all won in distance races in the classical technique, and no other Estonian has won more at the Winter Games.
