Early life

[edit]

Mörz was born in Eisenstadt and has two sisters—Alissa (b. 2002) and Collien (b. 2006)—who also compete in elite gymnastics.[2][3] They also have a younger brother named Nicholas. Their father is former professional footballer Michael Mörz who played for the Austrian national football team, and their mother, Nina, is a primary school teacher. She began training in artistic gymnastics at the age of four. She won the all-around title at the 2016 Austrian Youth Championships with cuts on her face because of a bad fall in training.[4]

Junior career

[edit]

Mörz made her international debut at the 2017 Elek Matolay Memorial where she finished seventh in the all-around and sixth in the balance beam final.[5] Then at the 2017 Austrian Championships, she finished sixth in the all-around. In the event finals, she placed fifth on the vault and floor exercise and fourth on the uneven bars.[6] At the 2018 Zelena Jama Open, Mörz won the silver medal in the all-around behind Czech gymnast Nela Kaplanova.[7] She once again placed sixth in the all-around at the Austrian Championships. In the event finals, she won a silver medal on the balance beam and a bronze medal on the floor exercise. She also placed fourth in the vault final.[8]

Mörz began the 2019 season at the Elek Matolay Memorial where she finished 20th in the all-around.[9] She then placed seventh in the all-around at the Pre-Olympic Youth Cup held in Essen, Germany.[10] She placed eighth in the all-around at the Züri-Oberland Cup.[11] She represented Austria at the 2019 European Youth Olympic Festival and helped the team place 20th.[12] At the Austrian Championships, she finished fourth in the all-around. Then in the event finals, she won silver medals on the vault and floor exercise and a bronze medal on the uneven bars.[13]

Mörz won the all-around title at the 2020 Austrian Championships. She also won the vault title and won the bronze medal on the uneven bars, and she placed fifth on the floor exercise.[14] This was her only competition in 2020.[15]

Senior career

[edit]

2021

[edit]

Mörz became age-eligible for senior competitions in 2021. She made her senior debut at the Austrian Championships, placing ninth in the all-around. Then in the event finals, she won bronze medals on both the vault and floor exercise.[16] She then made her senior international debut at the Osijek World Challenge Cup and placed eighth in the vault final.[17] She was selected for the 2021 World Championships team to make her World Championships debut.[18] She competed on the vault, balance beam, and floor exercise, but she did not advance into any finals.[19]

She won the event title on floor exercise, and she placed fourth on both the vault and balance beam.[20] She then helped Austria place fifth at the Austrian Team Challenge.[21] She competed at the European Championships. There, she became the first gymnast to perform a hop with a full turn in passé position. However, the element was not deemed difficult enough for it to be named after Mörz, but the skill is now included in the Code of Points.[22] She helped the Austrian team place 11th in the qualification round.[23] She then competed with the Austrian team that placed 19th at the World Championships.[24]

Mörz began the year at the Cairo World Cup, the first event in the 2024 FIG World Cup series. She advanced to the floor exercise final in first place with a score of 13.200. This marked the first time an Austrian gymnast qualified for an FIG World Cup final in first place.[32] In the final, she placed fourth with a score of 12.633. This was the same score as bronze medallist Laura Casabuena of Spain, but Mörz was demoted due to tie break procedures.[33] She won 20 points for Olympic qualification.[34] A week later, Mörz attended the second FIG World Cup event in Cottbus, Germany. She placed third in the floor exercise final behind China's Zhou Yaqin and Xinyi Chen, scoring 13.100.[35] As the highest-placing eligible gymnast, she earned 30 points towards Olympic qualification.[36]

Mörz won the gold medal on the floor exercise at the Baku World Cup with a score of 13.566. This marked the first time an Austrian female gymnast won a gold medal on the FIG World Cup series.[37][4] She won another 30 points towards Olympic qualification and mathematically secured an Olympic berth.[38] Despite already securing an Olympic berth, she still competed at the Doha World Cup and finished seventh on the floor exercise.[39] She was the overall 2024 FIG World Cup series winner on floor exercise.[40]

Mörz competed at the European Championships and was the first reserve for the floor exercise event final.[41]

At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Mörz finished 70th on both the uneven bars and floor exercise, 75th on balance beam, and placed 57th for the all around.[42]
