Vera Serhejewa competed in her first World Cup race on December 14, 2003 in Olang .

In the 2004/2005 season Serhejewa took part in five of the six World Cup races, but only crossed the finish line four times last. Only in the final in Olang did she leave two starters behind in 14th place. In the overall World Cup, she achieved 15th place out of a total of 24 female tobogganists who won World Cup points this winter. As the only Ukrainian so far, she competed in a world championship in Latsch in January 2005 and finished 17th out of 19 starters. In the 2005/2006 season , Wera Serhejewa, like all Ukrainians, only took part in the first three World Cup races and achieved 15th place each time, which means she was always among the last three. In the overall World Cup she finished 17th out of 22 tobogganists. Serhejewa had her last international appearance at the 2006 European Championships in Umhausen , where she was third from bottom in 19th place.
