Senior

2021

Urazova turned senior in 2020 but did not compete during the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She made her senior debut at the 2021 Russian National Championships. She finished qualifications with a 56.299, the second highest score of the day behind Viktoria Listunova. During finals she earned a 57.365, which was the highest score of the day. However her two day total was less than Listunova's and therefore Urazova finished second.[20] During event finals Urazova won gold on the uneven bars, bronze on floor exercise behind Angelina Melnikova and Listunova, and placed seventh on the balance beam after multiple falls.[21]

In April it was announced that Urazova would make her senior international debut at the European Championships in Basel alongside Melnikova, Listunova, and Elena Gerasimova.[22] During qualifications Urazova finished third in the all-around and second on uneven bars; however Melnikova and Listunova finished higher in the all-around and Urazova therefore did not qualify for the final. During event finals Urazova earned silver on the uneven bars behind Melnikova.[23]

Urazova competed at the Russian Cup in June. During qualifications she finished in second behind Melnikova. During the all-around final she once again finished second but this time behind Listunova.[24] After the competition Valentina Rodionenko, the senior coach of the Russian national artistic gymnastics team, announced that Urazova would be on the Olympic Team along with Melnikova and Listunova.[25]

At the Olympic Games Urazova qualified to the all-around and balance beam finals; she scored high enough to qualify to the uneven bars final but did not due to two-per-country limitations and Anastasia Ilyankova and Melnikova scoring higher. Additionally she helped the Russian Olympic Committee qualify to the team final in a surprise first place, ahead of the United States team. During the team final Simone Biles withdrew after vault; Urazova competed on all four apparatuses. Although Urazova and teammate Melnikova fell off the balance beam, the Russian team performed well on all other routines and finished in first place, over three points ahead of the second place American team.[26] During the all-around final Urazova hit all four of her routines and recorded the highest balance beam score of the day; however she finished fourth behind Sunisa Lee of the United States, Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, and compatriot Melnikova.[27]

In September it was announced that Urazova would compete at the upcoming World Championships alongside Maria Minaeva, Yana Vorona, and Olympic teammate Melnikova.[28] In qualifications she fell on her double twisting Yurchenko, which was also downgraded to a 1.5 twisting Yurchenko, but came back strong to qualify fifth for the all-around final. Additionally she qualified for the uneven bars and floor exercise finals. During event finals she placed fourth in the all-around and on floor exercise and seventh on uneven bars.[citation needed]

2022

Urazova competed at the Doha World Cup in early March. She qualified to the balance beam and floor exercise finals. While in Doha it was announced that starting March 7 Russian and Belarusian athletes would be banned from taking part in FIG-sanctioned competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[29] Urazova won gold on the balance beam and placed fourth on floor exercise.[30]
