Career

[edit | edit source]

Initially a figure skater, she took up cycling at the age of 16 years-old. In 2019, she became the Russian junior champion over 200 meters.[2] A successful junior track cyclist, she won the Sprint and the Kierin gold medals at the 2020 UEC Junior European Track Championships in Fiorenzuola d'Arda, Italy in October 2020.[3][4]

She won four gold medals at the 2021 UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships in Cairo, winning the keirin, team and individual sprints titles and the time trial.[5] At the 2021 UEC Junior European Track Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands she retained her Sprint and Kieron titles, and also won gold medals in the Team Sprint and 500 metres.[2] She was runner-up to Martha Bayona in the sprint event in the St Petersburg leg of the 2021 UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup.[6]

She became the senior Russian Individual Sprint Champion in 2022.[2] However, her progress was halted internationally that year due to the ban on Russian athletes racing internationally, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. She made her international return in 2024 as an authorized neutral athlete.[7] She competed in the Nations Cup in Hong Kong in March 2024, where she placed third in the Keirin behind Emma Finucane and Emma Hinze.[2]

She won the sprint title at the 2024 UCI Track Champions League.[8] In the process, she became the first rider in the history of the event to win five consecutive events.[9]

Lysenko was a bronze medalist at the 2025 UEC European Track Championships in the women's sprint in Belgium in February 2025.[10] In October, she was also a bronze medalist at the 2025 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Santiago, Chile, in the women's sprint.[11]
