Career
Wevers is known mostly around the World Cup circuit. Her international debut came at the Ghent World Cup in 2007, where she placed seventh on uneven bars. That year, she also placed eighth on balance beam at the Glasgow Grand Prix.
The following year, Wevers repeated her eighth place beam finish at the Cottbus Turner der Meister, but won silver on balance beam at the Maribor World Cup afterwards. At the World Cup in Tianjin, she finished seventh on balance beam, but at the Glasgow Grand Prix, she had a very successful competition, placing seventh on floor, and winning both bars and beam. She finished off 2008 by placing sixth on bars and fourth on beam at the Stuttgart DTB Cup.
The year after, she placed fourth on beam at the Moscow World Stars. After that, she went off the radar and was not seen again until the Ostrava World Cup in 2012, where she won silver on beam.
In 2013, Wevers competed at the Turnen Dames Interland, a Dutch friendly meet against other nations such as Romania, Great Britain, and Germany. She placed fourth on uneven bars and third on balance beam. Shortly thereafter, Wevers was named to the Dutch team for her first World Championships since 2007. She also competed at the Osijek World Cup, winning gold on beam. Unfortunately, at the World Championships, Wevers fell on balance beam in prelims and did not advance to the final.
In June 2014, she competed at the Dutch Nationals, winning gold on beam, silver on bars, and placing ninth in the all-around. She was named to the Dutch team for the World Championships, and helped them finish tenth in qualifications, qualifying a full team to the next World Championships.
In 2015, she competed at the Ljubljana World Cup in April, where a fall on balance beam landed her in fourth place. At the European Championships, she qualified well to the uneven bars and balance beam finals. She won a bronze on bars, but fell on one of her spins on beam, and finished her routine well over her alotted 90 seconds. She finished eighth.
