Early life

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.[4]

Junior career

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 one 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.

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]

Senior career

2021

Mörz became age-eligible for senior competitions in 2021. She was selected for the 2021 World Championships team to make her World Championships debut.[15]

2022

Mörz 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.[16]

2024

Mörz began the year at the 2024 Cairo FIG World Cup, the first event in the 2024 FIG Artistic Gymnastics 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.[17] 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. She won 20 points for Olympic qualification.[18]

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.[19]
