Career
Póth began figure skating at the age of four to combat her nerves. Her first coach was Tamara Teglassy, with whom she was most successful as a junior. After the 1998 Worlds Championships, where she finished 10th, she switched coaches and began to train with Andras Szaraz and Eszter Jurek.[1] Póth achieved her best result, 4th, at a European Championships in 1999.
Póth won two Hungarian national titles in 1999 and 2000. She competed in the Austrian Championships in 2002.
After a couple of injuries, Póth switched coaches again and began training with Jeranjak Ipakjan and Gurgen Vardanjan. In April 2007, Poth retired from competition. She began coaching at a Cardiff skating club. One of her students won the junior national championship.
Personal life
Póth moved to Austria in 2001 and returned to Hungary in October 2002.[2] Her mother is Austrian.[3] Her father was a hockey player.[1]
