Ion Taranu (born 14 March 1938, Turnu Măgurele) is a Romanian Greco-Roman wrestler. He won the bronze medal in the middleweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. ==Career/development== Ion Taranu began wrestling as a young person and developed into an outstanding Greco-Roman wrestler. He won the Romanian championship in the middleweight division for the first time in 1959. In 1960 he qualified for the Rome Olympics. His previous international experience consisted only of two bouts against Sweden in Bucharest, in both of which he fought Hans Antonsson and the match ended with no decision. In Rome he surprised the wrestling world with outstanding achievements in the middleweight division, among others defeating the Turkish world champion, Kazim Ayvaz. His match against the young Lothar Metz of Rostock, representing the combined Germany, ended undecided. Taranu was forced to accept one defeat, at the hands of the experienced Dimitar Dobrev of Bulgaria. In the final accounting he was able to achieve 3rd and thus win the Bronze medal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ion Taranu )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Men's Middleweight (67.5 - 75 kg) Greco-Roman, Complete list of Olympic medalists for the Men's middleweight (67.5 kg - 75 kg) Greco-Roman )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The XVII Olympiad, Rome 1960, Volume One )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The XVII Olympiad, Rome 1960, Volume Two )〕 Taranu also performed very well at the 1961 World Championships in Yokohama. There he again fought to an undecided verdict against Lothar Metz, but was defeated by Vassili Tsenin of the Soviet Union and had to content himself with 4th place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ion Ţăranu )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taranu, Ion )〕 He also did not win a medal at the 1962 World Championships, in Toledo, Ohio, USA, or the 1963 World Championships in Helsingborg, Sweden, finishing 5th.〔〔 However, in both world championships he performed respectably and was beaten by Anatoly Kolesov of the USSR. Taranu was extremely well prepared for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He fought in the welterweight class and was undefeated in his four matches. However, the undecided matches against Matti Laakso of Finland and Anatoly Kolesov gave him 6 penalty points to his 2 victory points, and he was eliminated, with 5th place.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Games of the XVIII Olympiad, Tokyo, 1964, Volume One )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Games of the XVIII Olympiad, Tokyo, 1964, Volume Two )〕 Taranu was very successful at the 1967 European Championships in Minsk, where he placed 2nd in the welterweight class. The rules then in force allowed this with a single victory and three undecided matches. At the World Championships the same year, in Bucharest, he achieved 3 victories and one undecided. However, a defeat at the hands of Viktor Igumenov of the USSR forced him to withdraw and he ended in 6th place.〔〔 Taranu took part in the Olympics for the third and final time in Mexico City in 1968. As he had four years previously, he took 5th place, with defeats of, among others, Peter Nettekoven of Dortmund and an undecided match against Franz Berger of Austria and defeats at the hands of Viktor Igumenov and the Frenchman Daniel Robin.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mexico 68 (official report), Volume Three, Part 2 )〕 Taranu retired from active participation in wrestling after the 1968 Olympics.
