[1] Maya Cloeten's first international races took place at the 2019 Olympic Youth Festival in Sarajevo, where she won the silver medal with the mixed relay team.

In the subsequent year, she competed in the Youth World Championships again, repeating her sprint performance from 2020, but the relay team, including Cloetens, significantly improved, securing victory with Fany Bertrand and Jeanne Richard.

[2] Shortly after winning the national title, the French association expelled Cloetens from the team due to a "lack of perspective," denying her support.

With the exception of Lotte Lie, there were no other female athletes in the Belgian national team, leading Cloetens to participate immediately in the IBU Cup in the winter of 2022/23, achieving three top-30 results.

Despite a severe fall by Thierry Langer in the mixed relay, she, along with Lotte Lie and Florent Claude, secured tenth place.
