Patrick "Pat" Lee Ahern (born November 10, 1960) is an American Nordic combined skier. He competed in the 1984 Winter Olympics.[1]
Ahern, who lived in Breckenridge, Colorado, lost an opportunity to win a gold medal[2] “when controversial rulings by the jury canceled two rounds of jumping and wiped out his jumps, two of the longest of the competition.”[3]
He attended University of Alaska Anchorage.[4]
