Leo Massa (October 15, 1929 – September 3, 2009) was an American cross-country skier. He competed in the men's 30 kilometre event at the 1960 Winter Olympics.[1]
Raised in Red Bank, New Jersey, Massa played baseball at Red Bank Regional High School well enough to earn a Major League Baseball tryout, before switching over to focus cross-country skiing, a sport he learned in Finland, his father's home country, during his pre-teen years.[1][2]
