Dănuț Grecu (26 September 1950 – 12 December 2024) was a Romanian artistic gymnast who specialised in rings. In 1974 he became Romania’s first world champion in artistic gymnastics and was named Romanian Athlete of the Year.[1][2] Grecu competed at the 1972, 1976, and 1980 Olympics and won a bronze medal in 1976;[3] he had to withdraw from the 1980 Olympics due to a muscle tear sustained on the rings.[1] In addition to his 1974 gold medal he won two world and two European medals on the rings.[4][5] He retired due to injuries to his shoulder and biceps sustained in training while preparing to the 1980 Olympics.[6]
Grecu was one of five siblings of a border guard officer. At the age of 12 he took up gymnastics because he loved climbing anything hanging around, like ropes and tree branches.[6] After retiring from competitions Grecu had a long career as gymnastics coach with the national team.[1] Grecu was married to a fellow gymnastics coach Elena Grecu. They had two children: a daughter Simona and a son Bogdan.[6]
Grecu died on 12 December 2024, at the age of 74.[7]
