Career

Márton began fencing at the age of nine. She is coached by Gábor Gárdos since she is ten. She won the 2010 Cadet European Championships in Athens and earned a bronze medal at the Cadet World Championships in Baku that same year.

She joined in 2011 the senior national team at the age of sixteen and took part in the World Championships in Catania. She did not get past the qualification phase in the individual event.

She took part in the senior European Championships in Legnano, but lost in the first round to World No.1 Olha Kharlan. The following year, she reached the quarter-finals at the European Championships in Zagreb, ceding to Kharlan again. She was stopped by China's Zhu Min in the table of 32 of the World Championships at home in Budapest.

In the 2013–14 season Márton became Junior European and World champion in Jerusalem and Plovdiv respectively. She also reached the table of 16 in four stages of the Fencing World Cup. She was stopped in the second round by Russia's Yana Egorian at the European Championships in Strasburg, but she got to the table of 16 at the World Championships in Kazan, where she was edged out by Russia's Yekaterina Dyachenko.
