Start:

Took up bobsleigh in 2010. "I was at the Russian [Athletics] Championship in Sochi and at the same time there was a bobsleigh training camp. My coach talked to the head coach of the bobsleigh team, who said in a conversation that they really needed strong girls on the team, and my coach jokingly noted that he had one. He did not think that I would be so hooked on it." (worldclassmag.com, 20 April 2020)

Reason:

"I simply felt that I needed to vanish and leave athletics, be in different company, in a different atmosphere. After two weeks bobsleigh training in Latvia, I understood that I had no fear of this sport. I understood that I had made it into a different world. Everything around was new and interesting." (Info 2018)

Honoured Master of Sport of Russia (2009)

General Interest

FAILED DRUG TESTS
At the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, tested positive for the heart medication trimetazidine, a banned substance under World Anti-Doping Agency regulations. As part of her settlement with the Court of Arbitration for Sport - which blamed a contaminated product for the positive result - she accepted an eight-month ban and the disqualification of her 12th-place finish in the two-woman bob. The athlete later unsuccessfully sued Russia's Federal Biomedical Agency for issuing her a contaminated sample of the legal supplement methionine. In March 2016, she had also tested positive to meldonium, a substance banned since the beginning of that year. In a decision that WADA later criticised as hasty, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency dismissed her case. She said at the time that she was prescribed the drug at the end of 2015 and was assured it would be out of her system within a few days, prior to the ban taking effect.

Won Russia's first European Championship in the two-woman event in 2020 with brakewoman Elena Mamedova, narrowly edging out the Romanian-piloted team of Andreea Grecu. In 2017, she won Russia's first medal in the event, a silver.

In 2020/21, won the inaugural monobob World Series event in Winterberg, 0.08 seconds over runner-up Martina Fontanive (SUI).

First World Cup podium finish was second in 2018 in two-woman in Sigulda, and had her first victory on the same track two years later in 2020.
