When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing at age nine at the BVSC Zuglo club in Budapest, Hungary.
Why this sport? Her mother encouraged her to get involved in the sport. "I tried other sports like running, swimming, playing tennis, but when I started fencing I mostly liked it because I didn't understand it. It seemed very exciting to me."
