Ivan Aleksandrovich Skobrev (Russian: Иван Александрович Скобрев; born 8 February 1983 in Khabarovsk) is a Russian speed skater.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, he won the bronze medal in the 5000 meters as well as the silver medal in the 10000 meters. He is the 2011 European and World Allround Champion.
At the 2006 European Championships he finished in fifth place. He qualified for four distances for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. He finished eleventh in the 5000 meters, sixth in the 1500 and 10000 meters and fifth in the team pursuit.
In December 2017, he was one of eleven Russian athletes who were banned for life from the Olympics by the International Olympic Committee, after doping offences at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[1] The ban was subsequently overturned on appeal to the court of arbitration for sport (CAS).[2]
