     Octavian Bellu coached such accomplished gymnasts as Lavinia Milosovici, Andreea Raducan, Simona Amanar and Catalina Ponor.

   Although a moderately successful gymnast in his early years, Belu's success has been in the field of coaching rather than performing, and he has spent his adult life in this profession.
  
 Octavian Bellu was head of the national team, with interruptions, between 1988 and 2005. He has been the coach of the Romanian Women's Team since the defection of Bela Karolyi for political reason in 1981.
