After her first podium in an FIS race, she started in the European Cup in December 2007 , but did not score any points in the 2007/08 season. She performed well at the Russian Junior Championships in February 2008 when she finished in the top seven in all disciplines and won the Super-G. At the Junior World Championships in 2008 in Formigal , Spain , she achieved 16th place in the combined ranking.
In the European Cup season 2008/09 Prostewa won her first points in the two Super-Gs of Kvitfjell at the end of November . Three weeks later she finished in the top ten for the first time in the downhill from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and on January 16, 2009, she achieved her best European Cup result with fourth place in the downhill from Caspoggio . In February she contested her first two World Cup races in Tarvisio , a super combination and a downhill run, in which she was only able to classify in the bottom field and won no World Cup points. At the Junior World Championships 2009 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , her best results were 15th in the downhill and 16th in the Super-G.
On December 18, 2009, Prostewa won her first World Cup points in her fourth World Cup race, the super combination of Val-d'Isère , in 26th place.
