Josy Stoffel (27 June 1928 – 9 March 2021) was a Luxembourgish gymnast.[2] He was born in Differdange.[3] He participated in five consecutive editions of the Summer Olympic Games (1948, 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964), but never won a medal.[3] Nonetheless, Stoffel dominated the domestic scene, and won Luxembourg's national gymnastics championships for sixteen straight years, from 1949 until 1964.[3] In 2008 he was promoted to the rank of Chevalier in the Order of Merit of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.[4]
