Early life and career
Koósz was born in Hungary.[7] She has been paraplegic since a car accident in October 1997.[8] She started without previous knowledge with wheelchair tennis at the age of 24. In December 2005, she started her participation in international and national tournaments.
In 2007, she played in the B squad and in 2010 was taken into the A-squad of the Austrian national wheelchair tennis team. Koósz won the 2009 national championship in women's doubles with her partner Anette Baldauf for the first time, and a year later she became national champion in women's singles.
After London, Koósz hung up her tennis racket for health reasons. In 2016, she discovered badminton and started a new career as an international parabadminton player and army athlete.
