After 18th place in the individual and fifth in the pursuit, she was able to improve to second place in the pursuit and only had to admit defeat to the four-time world champion of the World Cup, Uljana Kaischewa.

In the women's category, Vishnevskaya competed in her first race at the start of the 2011/12 season at races in Idre in the IBU Cup . As 32nd in a sprint, she immediately won her first points.
