At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Jacques missed out of the Olympic podium in the women's 70 kg category, after she was defeated by Germany's Annett Böhm, who scored an ippon within thirty-eight seconds, in the bronze medal match. She was able to fight back against her opponent for a rematch to capture the bronze medal, this time at the 2005 World Judo Championships in Cairo, Egypt.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Jacques qualified again for the 70 kg category. She was eliminated in the second preliminary round, losing out to Italy's Ylenia Scapin, who scored a single yuko point in the match.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/judo/resultsandschedules/rsc=JUW070406/index.html |title=Women's Middleweight (70kg/154 lbs) Preliminaries |publisher=NBC Olympics |accessdate=3 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821141605/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/judo/resultsandschedules/rsc=JUW070406/index.html |archive-date=21 August 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
