Tudor Andrei PETRUS

Tudor Petruş was a foil fencer who competed at the 1976 and 1980 Olympic Games, both times in the individual and team event. Petruş graduated from ANEFS Bucareşti, and then joined CSA Steaua Bucareşti, winning a bronze medal at the 1978 European Cup.

He later became a renowned fencing coach in Romania, better known for that than his competitive career. Of note, he coached multiple champion Laura Cârlescu-Badea. He also led the Romanian women to a world foil title in 1994, and coached Réka Szabó-Lăzar to the 1994 World individual foil title and Cârlescu-Badea to that title in 1995. In his later years, Petruş was a federal coach at the Romanian Fencing Federation and technician at CSU Poli Timişoara.
