Dumitru Volvoreanu, commonly known as Puia, played rugby football for the Romanian team that won a bronze medal at the 1924 Paris Olympics. There were only three teams in the 1924 Olympic tournament and the Romanians won the bronze medal despite losing both of their matches badly, losing 61-3 to France, and 37-0 to the United States. Volvoreanu played for Tennis Club Român in București and Racing Club de France and played fly-half and back-row forward. Volvoreanu played only in the match against the United States at Colombes, his only international appearance. Educated in Paris, he later had a career as a lawyer and prosecutor.
