Vabre competed for the French swimming squad in the women's 200 m individual medley at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She finished behind the winner Camille Muffat with a second-place time in 2:13.19 to assure her selection to the Olympic team and achieve the FINA A-standard (2:15.27) at the French Championships in Dunkirk.[3] Swimming in heat four alongside her French rival Muffat, Vabre managed to strengthen her lead over the rest of the field on an electrifying butterfly leg, but dropped almost towards the end of the pack with a seventh-place time in 2:14.25. Vabre failed to advance to the semifinals, as she placed twenty-first overall out of thirty-nine swimmers in the prelims.[4]
