Nepryayeva was first included to the Russian national team in 2015.^[3] Her breakthrough came in 2018 when she won bronze as part of the Russian relay team.

In the 2018–19 season, Nepryayeva became the first Russian female skier to finish in the top 3 of the Tour de Ski.^[4] At the 2019 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Nepryayeva became the first female Russian skier since 2007 to medal in skiathlon (then known as double pursuit).^[5] Overall, she won three medals at the World Championships in 2019 and 2021.
