After going undefeated at the NCAA Championships, Muhari picked up right where she left off and didn’t drop a single bout on the way to the gold. After posting a dominant 15-5 victory over Hadley Hussian of the United States in the semifinal, Muhari pulled out a close 10-9 decision over Russia’s Aizanat Murtazaeva in the final.
The title is the latest for Muhari, who is now a bronze medalist at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics for Team Hungary, a two-time NCAA individual national champion and two-time World Cup winner.
