Jaroslav Skobla (16 April 1899 – 22 November 1959) was a Czechoslovakian weightlifter.[1] After winning a world light-heavyweight title in 1923 he was a favorite at the 1924 Olympics, but finished in a mere eighth place. Skobla then moved to the heavyweight category and won a bronze and a gold medal at the 1928 and 1932 Games, respectively.[2][3] He worked as an accountant, bouncer, and policeman. His friends collected money to send him to the Olympics.[4]
His son Jiří was an Olympic shot put competitor.[2]
