Ivett Tóth

Ivett Tóth's father first brought her to an ice rink in 2004.[2][4] In 2009, she fractured her ankle and underwent surgery.[5] She competed internationally on the advanced novice level for two seasons beginning in 2010–2011.

Tóth debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series and won the Hungarian national junior title. Selected to represent Hungary at the 2013 World Junior Championships, she qualified for the free skate and finished 21st overall in Milan, Italy.

Tóth remained a junior in international events but competed on the senior level nationally. She became the Hungarian national champion at the 2014 Four Nationals. At the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, she was eliminated after placing 31st in the short program. Tóth was coached by István Simon until the end of the 2013–14 season.[6] Júlia Gór-Sebestyén became her coach in April 2014.[3]

In November, making her senior international debut, Tóth won the bronze medal at an ISU Challenger Series (CS) competition, the 2014 Ice Challenge in Graz, Austria. Her short program placements at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, Sweden (33rd); 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia (28th); and 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, China (26th) were insufficient to advance to the free skate.

Competing in the 2015 JGP series, Tóth finished 8th in Linz, Austria, and 6th in Zagreb, Croatia. After placing 5th at her CS event, the 2015 Ice Challenge, she took silver at the Santa Claus Cup and won her third consecutive senior national title.

At the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, she qualified to the final segment by placing 10th in the short program with a personal best score. She then placed 12th in the free skate and 11th overall. She finished 8th at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary, after placing 15th in the short and 7th in the free. At the 2016 World Championships in Boston, she was eliminated after placing 28th in the short program.

Tóth finished 8th at the 2017 European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Ranked 14th in the short, she qualified to the final segment at the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland, and would finish 20th overall. Due to her result, Hungary qualified a spot in the ladies' singles event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

In May 2017, Júlia Gór-Sebestyén said that the two would no longer work together and Tóth decided to train under Linda van Troyen in Zurich, Switzerland.[7]

Tóth fractured her foot off ice in August 2017.[8][9] As a result, she withdrew from the 2017 Rostelecom Cup, which would have been her Grand Prix debut. In December, she placed second to Fruzsina Medgyesi at the Hungarian Championships. In January, they both competed at the 2018 European Championships in Moscow, Russia; Tóth was the only one to qualify to the free skate and went on to finish 13th overall. She was selected as Hungary's Olympic entry on 19 January 2018.[10]

In February, Tóth competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.[5] Her performance drew media attention when she appeared on ice to perform to AC/DC's Back in Black and Thunderstruck in a studded leather vest with a picture of Angus Young on the back.[11][12][13][14] She qualified to the free skate and finished 23rd, both at the Olympics and at the 2018 World Championships, which took place the following month in Milan, Italy.

Tóth decided to train with Zsófia Tokaji-Kulcsár and Zoltán Tóth in Budapest.[2]

Tóth competed at a number of minor international events in the first part of the season, including two Challenger events, placing eighth at the 2019 CS Ondrej Nepela Memorial and thirteenth at the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup. She was twenty-first among the competitors at the 2020 European Championships.[15]

She had been assigned to compete at the World Championships in Montreal, but those were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[16]
