Career

Révész won a bronze medal at the 2001 Junior European Championships in Keszthely. Amongst seniors, she was a member of the Hungary team that won a silver medal in the 2005 World Fencing Championships in Leipzig and a bronze medal in the 2013 European Fencing Championships in Zagreb. In the 2014 Doha Grand Prix she earned her first podium in the Fencing World Cup after defeating world no.1 Ana Maria Brânză 8–7 in quarter-finals;[1] Révész was stopped in semi-finals by Tiffany Géroudet and took a bronze medal.[2]
