Biography
Ștefan Tașnadi was a Romanian heavyweight lifter who won a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, albeit in the absence of the dominant lifting nations from the Soviet-bloc.

He competed at Los Angeles in 1984 despite serious knee injuries that caused him to retire after the Games. He later became a weightlifting coach and international judge.
