Sergiu Postică (born May 17, 1985) is a Moldovan former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] He is a two-time Olympian (2004 and 2008) and a multiple-time Moldovan record holder in the 100 and 200 m breaststroke.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Postică qualified for the men's 100 m breaststroke by eclipsing a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:03.71 from the Russian Open Championships in Saint Petersburg.[4] He challenged five other swimmers on the second heat, including two-time Olympian Nguyễn Hữu Việt of Vietnam. Postică raced to second place by 0.11 of a second behind Panama's Édgar Crespo in 1:03.83. Postică failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-fourth overall on the first night of preliminaries.[5]
