In 2012 Van Snick won the silver medal at the European Championships. On Saturday 28 July 2012, she won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games 2012 in London. In the qualifying round, she beat the Korean Chung Jung-yeon with ippon. In the quarter-finals, she beat the Hungarian Éva Csernoviczki, also with ippon. She lost in the semi-finals against the eventual Olympic champion, Sarah Menezes to yuko. The match which decided the bronze medal was won by Van Snick against the Argentinian Paula Pareto, after the latter got a second shido.[3]

In April 2013 Van Snick won the silver medal at the European Championships, losing in the final to Csernoviczki.

She won two gold medals at European Championship level, in 2015 and 2016, as well as silvers in 2012 and 2013.[3][5][6]

At the end of 2016, having lost in the second round at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Van Snick moved up to the -52kg weight division.[3][7] In 2021, she competed in the women's 52 kg event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[8]

Doping case

In August 2013 Van Snick won a bronze medal at the World Championships in Rio de Janeiro. On 14 October 2013 it was announced that Van Snick had tested positive for cocaine in Rio. Van Snick maintained her innocence.[9] On 29 October 2013 it was announced that a hair analysis that Van Snick commissioned by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven's toxicology lab proved negative for habitual cocaine use. Toxicological research proved the presence of 2,3 picogram cocaine per milligram in the hair for the period form 10 August to 10 October 2013, which is 200 times less than the amount in a strain for a habitual user, and a complete absence of cocaine in the part of the hair dating before 10 August.[10] However, on 30 November 2013 it was announced that the official retest also showed positive for cocaine.[11] On 3 January 2014, she was banned by the IJF for a period of two years. Van Snick announced she would appeal the ban with the Court for Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[12] On 4 July 2014, CAS decided that Van Snick's appeal would be partially upheld. CAS found that the most likely explanation for the presence of cocaine was sabotage by a third party and consequently annulled the two-year ban. CAS acknowledged the existence of an anti-doping rule violation, but declared that Van Snick was not to blame. As the positive test was taken in competition, her results obtained during the Judo World Championships in Rio de Janeiro 2013 remain annulled in accordance with article 9 of the World Anti-Doping Code.[13]
