In June 2023, she finished third in the women's event at the European Games in Poland.[2][3] In 2024, she finished 24th in the women's triathlon at the Summer Olympics in Paris.[4]

Shortly after the 2024 Summer Olympics, Vermeylen won her first gold medal on the world stage at the World Triathlon Cup Tongyeon.[5] Vermeylen followed this up with more wins in 2025, first at the Europe Triathlon Cup Holten,[6] and then at the Supertri Toronto.[7] Vermeylen capped off 2025 with European championship wins in both the Sprint[8] and Standard Olympic disciplines.[9]

In May 2026 she became victorious in the 4th season of the Flemish tv show The Container Cup. She was the best female contestant after 7 disciplines (running, monkey bars, indoor rowing, golf, shooting, bench press and cycling) and was the final winner of the season.
