In the individual she came in a good 40th place for her. Things went even better at the European Championships in Bansko , where Skardsina won gold in the relay and was sixth in the singles.

In the 2005/06 season Skardsina started in the Biathlon European Cup . She won her first race, an individual in Obertilliach . This was mostly followed by placements among the top ten. The Belarusian has been competing in the Biathlon World Cup since 2006/07 . Her first race was an individual in Östersund , which she finished in 44th. In Pokljuka she was able to collect World Cup points for the first time in December 2007 as 27th in the sprint and was also used for the first time in a Belarusian relay (12th).
