Gymnastics career

Junior

Makra made her international debut at the 2011 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival where she won gold on the uneven bars.[1] At the 2012 Junior European Championships, she placed tenth with her team, ninth in the all-around, and eighth on vault.[2][3][4]

Senior

Makra made her senior debut at the 2013 European Championships where she placed eleventh in the all-around. She was the third reserve for the floor final.[5] At the 2013 Ljubljana World Cup, she won gold on floor, silver on uneven bars, and silver on beam.[6] She placed fourth on bars at the Anadia World Challenge Cup.[7] At the Osijek World Challenge Cup, she finished fourth on beam and floor, fifth on vault, and sixth on bars.[8][9][10][11] At the 2013 World Championships, Makra finished fourteenth in the all-around final.[12] She was also the first reserve for the floor final.[13]

At the 2014 Cottbus World Cup, Makra won a bronze on bars,[14] and finished fourth on vault.[15] She also won a gold medal on beam, beating Maria Kharenkova and Andreea Munteanu.[16] At the 2014 Osijek World Cup, she won a silver on uneven bars.[17] Makra finished eighth on vault at the 2014 European Championships.[18] At the end of August, Makra competed at the Hungarian National Championships in Budapest, where she swept the gold medals.[19]

Makra represented Hungary at the 2015 European Games and finished fourth in the uneven bars final.[20] She advanced to the all-around final at the 2015 World Championships and finished 21st after falling off the balance beam.[21] She competed at the 2016 Olympic Test Event despite dealing with a knee injury and finished 49th in the all-around. Because her teammate Zsófia Kovács finished 14th, Hungary received an Olympic berth.[22] Kovács was eventually chosen to compete at the Olympic Games over Makra.[23] She competed with the Hungarian team that placed eighth at the 2016 European Championships.[24]

Makra missed most of the 2017 season due to various injuries.[25] She returned to international competition at the 2018 Osijek World Challenge Cup and won a bronze medal on the uneven bars.[26] She helped Hungary advance into the team final at the 2018 European Championships, where they finished eighth.[27] She was selected for the 2018 World Championships with Dorina Böczögő, Nóra Fehér, Zsofia Kovacs, and Sára Péter, and they finished 17th in the team qualification round.[28]

Makra won the all-around title at the 2019 Hungarian Championships.[29] She then won a gold medal on the balance beam at the 2019 Szombathely World Challenge Cup.[30] She competed at the 2019 World Championships, and the Hungarian team of Böczögő, Péter, Kovács, and Bianka Schermann finished 18th.[31]

Makra became sick with COVID-19 in October 2020 and, as a result, missed the 2020 European Championships. She announced her retirement from the sport in January 2021.[32]
