Biography

Depuydt grew up in Klemskerke, a village in De Haan, Belgium within the arrondissement of Ostend.

Depuydt improved markedly in 2019 and 2020, setting personal bests at every sprint distance from 60 m to 400 m. She won her first international championship title at the 2019 European Athletics Team Championships, where she helped the Belgian team to a First League victory in the 4 × 100 m. At the 2019 World Athletics Championships, Depuydt was selected as part of the Belgian 4 × 400 m squad, but the Belgian team coach Carole Bam decided not to run her in the prelims or finals, saying that it was difficult to choose between her and Imke Vervaet.
