Vervoort, who suffers from an incurable and degenerative spinal condition, earned a silver medal in the women's T52 400 meter final at the Paralympics on Saturday, having finished first and second in the respective 100m and 200m races at London 2012.
The 37-year-old has been the focus of much attention, after it was reported she intends to end her life following the Rio Games, with euthanasia legalised in Belgium.
Although Vervoort did sign euthanasia papers in 2008, she insists reporting of the matter up to now has not been accurate.
