In the 2005/06 season she started in the same place for the first time at the all- around European championship . After she ran the best time over the 500 meters, but could not repeat this position over the longer distances, she finished the championships in sixth place. So she qualified for the speed skating all- around world championship 2006 in Calgary . In addition, Lobysheva started shortly afterwards at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin . There she won the bronze medal after mixed individual results in the team pursuit. At the World Championships in March Lobysheva was finally 13th overall.

In January 2007 Lobysheva ran in Heerenveen for the first time in a single race as seventh among the top ten. At the all-around European championship in 2007 she reached 13th place. In December of the same year Lobysheva won the Russian all- around title on the home track in Kolomna .

In March 2008, Yekaterina Lobysheva was cautioned by the Russian Federation because of a fight with her teammate Yekaterina Abramowa at the World Cup in Heerenveen, while Abramowa was banned from all national and international championships, including World Cup races, for one year.

In Vancouver at the 2010 Winter Olympics Lobysheva remained without a medal success. In March 2011 she celebrated another Russian championship title with the team in Chelyabinsk . In December of the same year, title number 15 followed in the four-way battle in Moscow .

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , Lobysheva only ran the 1,500 meters as eighth among the top ten. With the team, together with Olga Graf and Julija Skokowa , she repeated the success of 2006 and again won bronze after failing in the semifinals to Poland, but compared to the other semi-final losers Japan had run the better time. The 2013/14 winter finally became her most successful season after she finished seventh in the overall standings over 1,500 meters.

In October 2016 Lobysheva won the 500 and 1,500 meters at the Kolomna Kremlin Cup and in December 2016 won her 16th Russian championship title on the same track after five years without a national title over the 1,000 meters.
