In Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron," Hazel is not handicapped because she possesses average intelligence and physical abilities, which the government considers to be the societal norm. The story's oppressive regime enforces equality by handicapping individuals who exhibit above-average traits. Since Hazel's capabilities fall within the average range, she does not require any handicaps, highlighting the absurdity of enforced equality in the dystopian society.
