Other information COACH'S PASSING
Her longtime coach Gyozo Kulcsar, who guided her to gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, died in 2018. In agreement with the Hungarian Fencing Federation and her club, she took some time away from competition to mourn his death. The pair had worked together for nearly two decades and were described as having a father-daughter relationship. "The 17 years we spent together, through good times and bad, are memories that I will always cherish." (infostart.hu, 11 Oct 2018; blikk.hu, 11 Oct 2018)
MATERNITY BREAK
After taking some time away from fencing in 2018 following the death of her coach Gyozo Kulcsar, she became a mother for the first time the following year after giving birth to twins in August 2019. "It was not a secret that we were also trying to have children. The good news came in December [2018]. After the loss of our master [Kulcsar] we received a little miracle. So life gives to us with one hand, and takes away with the other. I was unsure if I would continue after the Tokyo Olympics, but when it turned out to be postponed to 2021, it was clear that I would be fighting for another full season. Once I've gotten into this, I'm not going to stop." (magyarnemzet.hu, 31 Oct 2020; infostart.hu, 01 Jul 2020, 28 Feb 2019; index.hu, 28 Feb 2019)
