Lowell Bailey (born July 15, 1981 in Siler City, North Carolina) is an American biathlon coach and retired biathlete who competed from 2001 until 2018.

Career

His first World Cup podium was a 2nd place (following a disqualification) in the second sprint event at Kontiolahti (FIN) in 2014.,[1] and his first World Cup victory came in the 20 km event at the 2017 Biathlon World Championships in Hochfilzen, Austria.[2] He thus became the first biathlon world champion from the United States, as well as the oldest individual gold medalist at the World Championships in biathlon history, at 35 years and 216 days.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics, he finished 27th in the individual, 46th in the sprint, and 48th in the pursuit events.[3]

At the 2010 Winter Olympics, he finished 36th in the 10 km sprint event[4] and he also finished 36th in the 12.5 km pursuit.[5]

He decided to retire at the end of 8th leg of 2017–18 Biathlon World Cup.[6] In 2019 Bailey was appointed as the U.S. Biathlon Association's High Performance Director, working alongside former team-mate and Director of Athlete Development Tim Burke.[7]
