Zurich, Switzerland[2][3] and she was on the Belgium team that supported Lotte Kopecky to her bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
In 2024, Ghekiere won the mountains classification at both the Tour de France Femmes and the Giro d'Italia Women.
In 2025 she won her biggest victory to date finishing first in the Belgian National Road Race Championships.[4]
Ghekiere worked as a fitness instructor and personal trainer when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020. With fitness studios closed in Belgium, she took part in and won a Zwift challenge to ride the most distance in one week where the prize was a fitness test with a coach in her native Belgium. Her test results were so impressive that the coach sent them to a number of prospective cycling teams and she was offered a first contract with the Bingoal Casino–Chevalmeire team.[5]
