Competitive History
Van Zundert began skating at the age of seven. She competed at domestic Belgian competitions early in her career. In 2015, van Zundert began training under Ans Bocklandt in Courchevel, France and in Wilrijk, Belgium. In September/October 2020 she made a coaching change to Carine Herrygers and Jorik Hendrickx. In season 2021-2022 she ceased being coached by Jorik, but added Thomas Kennes to her coaches.
2019–2020 season as a junior
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 her home town Etten-Leur gathering donations and empty bottles for their deposits to finance her trips.
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 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 Qorld Junior championships team. 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.
Season 2020-2021
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. 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. In November, van Zundert won her first international title at the 2020 NRW Trophy, ahead of Josefin Taljegard and Jenni Saarinen. Her results earned her the technical minimums for the 2021 European Championships which eventually were cancelled. Van Zundert competed at several other Senior Bs throughout the season, winning medals at the Winter Star (silver) and Celje Open (gold).
Although the European Championships were eventually cancelled, van Zundert was able to earn her technical minimums for Worlds at the 2021 Challenge Cup to earn a berth on the Dutch team for the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm. As the highest ranked Dutch skater at Challenge Cup, she (unofficially) also earned her first senior national title. At the World Championships, she received a short program score of 57.72 which qualified her for the free skate in twenty-fourth position, the last skater to make the cut. In the free skate she scored a new personal best of 116.78 and moved up to sixteenth position. Van Zundert's ranking qualified a berth for a Dutch skater at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. This was the first time The Netherlands had qualified in the Olympic ladies' event since Dianne de Leeuw in 1976 (who was American but could represent the Dutch because of having a Dutch mother) in 1976. She remarked "I have worked so hard for it and I have given so much, it gives such a great feeling that I have achieved this."
Season 2021-2022
Van Zundert began the season at the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy, where she placed seventh. She attempted a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination in competition for the first time. She was eleventh at the 2021 CS Finlandia Trophy. She won the NRW Trophy for the second time, this time ahead of Lea Serena (France) and again ahead of Josefin Taljegard. Her first European Championships were a disaster, as she ended in 27th place for the SP, and so did not do the FS. A bit of redemption came at the OG, where she was the first Dutch entree in Figure Skating since 46 years, and she ended in 18th place. She was 17th at Worlds. In between the OG and Worlds she managed to become Dutch Champion at the Challenge Cup as well.
Season 2022-2023
She made a start of the season at Nebelhorn Trophy and placed 9th. Thereafter she skated at Finlandia Trophy and placed 7th. She was pleased to be invited to skate at 2 GP's and placed 11th in both. . She ended the first half of the season at Golden Spin in Zagreb, Croatia, and placed 5th.
