Roland Brückner (born 14 December 1955) is a retired East German gymnast. He competed at the 1976 and 1980 Summer Olympics in all artistic gymnastics events and won a bronze and a silver medal in the team competition, respectively. Individually he won a gold in the floor exercise and two bronze medals in the vault and parallel bars in 1980.[1] He won two more gold medals in the floor exercise at the 1979 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships[2] and 1981 European championships.[3] He missed the 1984 Summer Olympics due to their boycott by East Germany and competed at the Friendship Games instead, winning a gold on the floor and a silver in the team competition.
He retired from competitions shortly after the 1984 Friendship Games and later worked as a trainer, near Ulm in Germany and at the NKL Liestal, Switzerland.[4] He was chosen the 1984 Gymnast of the Year in East Germany. He is married and has two children, Sandra and Thomas.[5][6]
