Biography
Dinu began fencing at age 11 after coaches from different sports did a presentation at her school.[1] Her first coaches were Dumitru Popescu and Radu Mitrăchioiu.[1] She took part in her first national championship at age 15; she was defeated in the final by Ana Maria Brânză, with whom she would later fence for Romania.[1]
Dinu's first major results were a silver medal in the 2001 Junior World Championships and a bronze in the 2004 Junior World Championships. She won a gold medal with Romania in the 2010 and 2011 World Fencing Championships with Simona Alexandru, Ana Maria Brânză and Anca Măroiu.[2] She competed in the women's team épée at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, but Romania were defeated in quarter-finals against South Korea and missed the podium.[3] She decided to take a break after the Olympics.[4]
In January 2015 Dinu announced she would come back to competition, this time as a member of CS Dinamo București.[5] In May she won a bronze medal in the Romanian national championship and reached the quarter-finals at the Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix.
