Andrés Alejandro Loforte (born 25 July 1979) is an Argentine judoka, who competed in the men's half-heavyweight category.[1] He held a 2002 Argentine senior title for his own division, picked up a total of fourteen medals in his career, including three bronze from the Pan American Judo Championships, and also represented his nation Argentina at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2]
Loforte qualified for the Argentine squad in the men's half-heavyweight class (100 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and receiving a berth from the Pan American Championships in Margarita Island, Venezuela.[2][3][4] He conceded with a koka score and a shido penalty, and succumbed to a kuchiki taoshi hold from Egypt's Bassel El Gharbawy during their opening match.[5][6]
