Athletic career

In 2010 Sidorowa took part in the Junior World Championships in Moncton , Canada , and narrowly missed a medal there in fourth. In 2013 she won bronze at the European Indoor Championships in Gothenburg and silver at the U23 European Championships in Tampere . She also came second for Russia in the European Team Championship. The following year Sidorowa won silver at the 2014 Indoor World Championships in Sopot and won the European Championships in Zurich and the European Team Championships in Braunschweig . In 2015 she won the European Indoor Championships in Prague . At the World Championships in Beijing , she failed to make a valid attempt in the final.

After Russia was banned from the world federation in 2016, Sidorova did not contest any official competitions that year and thus also missed the Olympic Games in Rio . In 2017 she was one of the few Russian women to receive an international start under a neutral flag. With that she would have been entitled to compete at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade , which she renounced. In the outdoor season, she was able to follow up on her form from 2015 and qualified for the World Championships in London in August. There she failed in the qualification at the starting height of 4.20 m.

In 2018, Sidorova set a new personal best with 4.86 m at the winter meeting in Moscow on February 4. At the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham shortly afterwards, she won the silver medal behind the American Sandi Morris with a jump of 4.90 m . She was thus a favorite for the European Championships in Berlin , where she only reached fourth place with 4.70 m . The following year she increased in Madrid to 4.91 m and then won the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow with 4.85 m . As a co-favorite for the World Championships in Doha , she lived up to her role and won the final with a new personal best of 4.95 m in front of the American Morris and the Greek defending champion Ekaterini Stefanidi .

In 2014, 2015 and 2019, Sidorova became the Russian champion in the outdoor pole vault and between 2014 and 2019 also in the hall.
