In 2008, Ekaterina Bukina finished in Thessaloniki at the World University Championships in the weight class up to 72 kg behind Stephany Lee from the United States.

But she was able to secure a bronze medal in the consolation round with victories over Sheherazade Bentorki from France and Jenny Fransson from Sweden .

At the 2011 European Championships in Dortmund , Jekaterina Bukina first won over Maja Gunvor Erlandsen from Norway and then delivered a tough fight to Stanka Slatewa in her second fight, which she only just lost 1: 2 rounds with 3: 3 points. Since Stanka Slatewa did not reach the final of this championship due to a semi-final defeat against Kateryna Burmistrowa from Ukraine , Ekaterina Bukina did not get into the consolation round and had to make do with 8th place. At the 2011 World Cup in Istanbul , Jekaterina Bukina won over Laure Ali Annabel, Gelegdschamtsyn Narantschimeg , Mongolia , Xynthia Vanessa Vescan, France and Vasilissa Marsaljuk , Ukraine, and lost in the final to Stanka Slatewa (0: 2 rounds, 1: 4 points). With that she became vice world champion. She then proved that she can beat Stanka Slatewa at the so-called FILA test tournament for the Olympic Games in London , where she defeated them in the final on points and won this tournament.

At the European Championships 2012 in Belgrade , she was not at the start. At the Russian championship in 2012, which took place on the last weekend in March, Ekaterina Bukina lost in the final of this championship against Natalia Vorobjowa on shoulder. In Natalja Vorobjowa, she has become a major competitor in the fight for a ticket to the Olympic Games in London . Natalja Vorobjowa, who also became Olympic champion there, was actually used in London. Jekaterina Bukina was sent to the World Cup in Strathcona County in Canada in September 2012. But she could not convince there, because after winning a fight against Badrachyn Odontschimeg from Mongolia, she lost to Xu Qing from China, dropped out and only finished 7th.

In 2013, Ekaterina Bukina was again Russian champion in the weight class up to 72 kg, where she managed the feat in the semifinals to defeat the Olympic champion Natalia Vorobjowa. In July 2013 there was another great success, like winning the Universiade in Kazan. In the final, she defeated the American Brittany Roberts.
