She won one of the bronze medals in the women's bantamweight event at the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships held in Baku, Azerbaijan.[7] After the championships, World Taekwondo was to investigate the claim that competing Russian atheltes, including Minina, violated the principles of neutrality because they had liked multiple pro-war posts on socia media.[8] In August 2023, Minina also readily accepted awards from the Governor of Chelyabinsk Oblast Aleksey Teksler who is sanctioned by the US and UK for backing Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9] In 2021, Minina had thanked Sergei Shoigu for a medal of Ministry of Defence and posted pictures with him in her social media.[10]
