Personal life

Career
Early career
Van Zundert began skating at the age of seven.[2] She competed at domestic Belgian competitions early in her career.[3] In 2015, van Zundert began training under Ans Bocklandt in Courchevel, France and Wilrijk, Belgium.
Van Zundert is the 2017 and 2018 Dutch advanced novice national champion.[4] She also won the 2019 Dutch junior national title, but was not sent to the 2019 World Junior Championships.
2019–2020 season
Van Zundert attended several training seminars both abroad in Andorra, France, and the United States, as well as domestic ones sponsored by Joan Haanappel's Netherlands Figure Skating Foundation. She went door-to-door in Etten-Leur to collection donations and bottles to finance her trips.[2]
Van Zundert made her Junior Grand Prix debut at 2019 JGP France, finishing 21st. Her result was not strong enough to earn the Netherlands a spot at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. Van Zundert then finished sixth at the Tallinn Trophy. She won her first international medal, silver, at the Santa Claus Cup. After a fourth-place finish at the 2020 Bavarian Open, van Zundert was named to the 2020 World Junior Championships team.[5] She defended her junior national title the following month. At Junior Worlds, van Zundert finished 29th in the short program and did not qualify to the final segment.[6]
2020–2021 season
Due to the cancellation of the Junior Grand Prix, van Zundert opened her season by making her senior international debut at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, where she was the youngest competitor. She earned all personal bests to finish seventh overall. Her coach was unable to travel from Belgium and she was accompanied by Lorenzo Magri, an Italian coach she knew from training.[1][7] After the competition, she announced she was leaving her longtime coach, Ans Bocklandt, to train under Jorik Hendrickx and Carine Herrygers in Eindhoven and Tilburg.[8] In November, van Zundert won her first international title at the 2020 NRW Trophy ahead of Josefin Taljegård and Jenni Saarinen. Her results earned her the technical minimums for the 2021 European Championships.[9]
