Career

Mohamed was born in Budapest from a Hungarian mother and a Syrian father. She was too shy in primary school to join the local fencing team, but her PE teacher persuaded her to give it a go. She then trained at the MTK sports club in Budapest with fencing master Antal Solti, who remained her personal coach as of 2013. She won in 1991 a bronze medal at the Cadet European Fencing Championships and the gold medal at the Junior World Championships. She retained her Junior title in 1992 and won it again in 1996.

At senior level she won her first major medal in 1992 with a silver medal at the 1992 European Championships, followed with another silver at the 1993 World Championships. She won the bronze medal at the foil 2006 World Fencing Championships after she lost 15–3 to Valentina Vezzali in the semi-finals.

Mohamed transferred to Törekvés SE in 2009 after 23 years at MTK, but continued training with Antal Solti. [4]

Personal life

She married in 2005 former Canadian Olympic pentathlete and épée fencer, Laurie Shong, whom she met at the 1999 Seoul World Cup. They have two daughters, Olívia, born in 2009, and Leila, born in 2014. [4]
