She won seven medals at world competitions, second only to 12 won by Ingrid Berghmans, the Queen of Belgian Women's Judo. She also won the European Championship seven times between 1994 and 2001. One of those championships included a 1998 comeback that she won five months after suffering a severe cervical spine injury during a match and being confined to a wheelchair. She also won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, despite having torn ligaments in her right knee two months earlier. She is also active as a sportscaster and in 2000 won the "Victor Prize", a trophy for top-notch sports personalities. Since 2015 , she has been inducted into the IJF Hall of Fame and has officially become a legend in the judo world. She is the only Belgian Superstar with two Olympic medals.

The other day, coach Eddy, who came to Japan , presented the Force Nine warm-up suit directly to Vandecaveye san . We are very impressed with all the staff who are training happily.
