Career
editPodeanu was born in Mehedinți County, but his parents moved to Craiova when he was seven.[1] After playing swords with other children at the park he took up fencing proper at the age of twelve. He also played basketball at school. As a fencer he won two titles of national champion of Romania in the junior category and one in the senior category. He also was Balkanic champion.
