Nelidina competed for Russia until 1998, when she briefly switched to competing for Azerbaijan. She switched back to skating for Russia the following year. Her highest placement at a senior-level ISU Championship was 13th at the 2003 World Championships. During her career, she was coached by Tatiana Pomerantseva, Zhanna Gromova, and Viktor Kudriavtsev.
Nelidina landed a triple Axel in competition at the 2002 Skate America. Together with Yukari Nakano, who also completed a triple Axel at that competition, Nelidina was the first female skater in 10 years to perform a triple Axel in international competition. She is the first female European skater to land a triple Axel in competition, the other skaters having been from Japan and the United States.[1]
After retiring from competition, Nelidina began coaching in Moscow.[2] She is currently on the faculty of coaches giving private skating lessons at the Wheaton Ice Arena in Maryland.[3]
