According to reports, her performance at the European Championships has contributed to her position among the absolute elite in the world. This may also impact her chances of receiving the title of Sportswoman of the Year, although this has not yet been confirmed.

She also spoke about her role as a figurehead for Belgian swimming. Vanotterdijk believes it is important to make a positive impact and bring joy to others with her achievements.

The prize money she earned totals €4,500. This serves as a pleasant addition to her success, although she emphasizes that winning prizes is not her only motivation. Her focus is on communicating and performing under the pressure of world-class athletes.
