Jury Dimitri Chechi (born October 11, 1969) is an Italian former gymnast.
Born in Prato (Tuscany), he won the Olympics title in the rings at Atlanta 1996 and was third at Athens 2004. This bronze was the fruit of a comeback at the age of 35, ten to fifteen years older than most of his competitors.
His nickname is the Lord of the Rings, since he specializes in the rings. His first name comes from the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin. Chechi was the Italian flagbearer at the opening ceremony in the Athens Games in 2004. He also participated in the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Turin.
