Anikó Ducza-Jánosi (born 8 August 1942) is a retired Hungarian gymnast. She competed at the 1960, 1964 and 1968 Olympics and won a bronze medal in the floor exercise in 1964.[1] She won another bronze medal on the balance beam at the 1962 World Championships. In 1963, she took an eleven-month break from training to give birth to her daughter, Zsuzsa Jánosi, and she began training again in early 1964.[2] She won the 1965 Summer Universiade all-around gold, as well as a gold medal with the Hungarian team.[3]
