In 2019, she represented Romania at the European Games in Minsk, Belarus and won one of the bronze medals in the 62 kg event.[1][2] She also represented Romania at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Career[]

She competed in the women's freestyle 63 kg event at the 2015 World Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas, United States.[3] In 2016, she competed at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament held in Istanbul, Turkey hoping to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[4] A few months later, she won the silver medal in the women's 63 kg event at the 2016 World University Wrestling Championships held in Çorum, Turkey.[5] In 2018, she won the bronze medal in the 62 kg event at the 2018 European U23 Wrestling Championship held in Istanbul, Turkey.[6]

She won the silver medal in the 65 kg event at the 2019 European Wrestling Championships held in Bucharest, Romania.[7] In the final, she lost against Elis Manolova of Azerbaijan.[7] In 2020, she competed in the women's 62 kg event at the 2020 Individual Wrestling World Cup held in Belgrade, Serbia.[8] In March 2021, she competed at the European Qualification Tournament in Budapest, Hungary hoping to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[9] She did not qualify as she was eliminated in her second match by Elif Jale Yeşilırmak of Turkey. A month later, she won one of the bronze medals in the 65 kg event at the 2021 European Wrestling Championships held in Warsaw, Poland.[10][11] She also failed to qualify for the Olympics at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament held in Sofia, Bulgaria.[12] However, as North Korea withdrew from the 2020 Summer Olympics, Incze received a place to compete in the women's 62 kg event as Rim Jong-sim of North Korea was no longer able to compete.[13]
