Fominykh took rhythmic gymnastics at the age of 3 in Izhevsk, her hometown. Her mother had practiced artistic gymnastics. She later came to Spain with her family when she was 5 years old. From the age of 7 to 10 she stayed at the Club Gimnàstic de Tarragona, In 2007 she participated in her first Spanish Championships. That same year she moved to the Club Muntanyenc Sant Cugat, where she stayed for the next three years. Afterwards she stayed for a year at the Club Gimnàstic Catalunya in Sabadell.

In 2011, at the age of 14, she joined the Club Esportiu Rítmica Mediterrania for one season, with this club she participated in the Spanish Championships in A Coruña, where she was 5th in the junior category (3rd with hoop, 4th with clubs, 11th with ball and 19th with ribbon), but she could not access the apparatus finals because her nationality change was still in process. In September 2011 she became part of the A.G.R. Catalunya, also known as the Catalan national team, training at the High Performance Centre (CAR) in Sant Cugat del Vallés, participating in the Spanish Group Championship in Zaragoza, winning gold overall and silver with the apparatus.[1] In 2012 she switched back to the individual category as a junior with C.E.R. Mediterrania, winning bronze in the All-Around, silver with hoop, clubs and ball, at nationals.[2]

At the end of September 2012, together with two other gymnasts from the A.G.R. Catalunya, Natalia García and Júlia Usón, and the coach Iratxe Aurrekoetxea, Fominykh took part in the Aeon Cup in Tokyo, her first international competition. There she placed 9th with hoop, 10th with ball and clubs, 7th with ribbon, 9th overall and 8th the team event.[3] In October of the same year she joined the Spanish senior national team, training at the High Performance Center in Madrid as a member of the reserve group.[4]

The group was coached by the head coach Anna Baranova together with Sara Bayón. Since then she has participated in several exhibitions with the group, such as those held at Euskalgym in November 2012, or with the reserve group in March 2013 in La Moraleja and in April in Tres Cantos. On June 16, 2013, Fominykh gave an exhibition at her former club, the Esportiu Rítmica Mediterrania in Santa Coloma de Cervelló, on the occasion of the end of the school year. After her teammates were proclaimed world champions in September, she participated with them in a tour where she performed in several galas, such as those performed at the Arnold Classic Europe in Madrid and the Charity Gala in favor of Proyecto Hombre in Burgos, and posed for a team calendar whose purpose was to raise money to pay for the upcoming competitions.[5] Fominykh also gave an exhibition at the end of the year at the Christmas festival of the club where her younger sister trained in Lloret de Mar.[6]

In April 2014, Fominykh participated in two exhibitions with the reserve team on the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, organized at the CSD, and with 10 clubs at the Queen's Cup in Guadalajara. On June 8, she performed an exhibition at her former club, the C.E.R Mediterrania where she also performed with her sister.[7] In July she also participated in an gala at the Vitry Cup tournament.[8]

In August 2014 she made her debut as a regular in the group (that at the time was made of Sandra Aguilar, Elena López, Lourdes Mohedano and Alejandra Quereda) at the World Cup in Sofia as Artemi Gavezou got injured and had to be replaced by Fominykh in the routine with 10 clubs and by Marina Viejo in the mixed routine. During a training session prior to that same competition, a club cut Fominykh's eyebrow, although she ultimately decided to compete with the wound.[9] The group placed 4th in the All-Around, just 0.50 points away from bronze, behind Italy, Bulgaria and Russia. The following day, they won the bronze in the 10 clubs' final and were 5th (tied with Ukraine and Belarus) in the mixed event.[10][11] After her teammates became world champions for the second time, she traveled with them to the LG Whisen Rhythmic All Stars 2014 in Seoul, where she participated in an exhibition.[12] On December 20, 2014, she participated with the rest of the group in the tribute to her coach, Sara Bayón at the Marta Domínguez Pavilion in Palencia, performing two exhibitions.[13][14][15][16]

For the 2018 season, Fominykh returned to the individual category, this time in the 1st category.

On February 9, she participated in the IX International Rhythmic Infantado Tournament in Guadalajara, winning gold in hoop and silver in ball.[28] On March 3, in the preliminary control of the Queen's Cup held in Arganda del Rey, she qualified in first place with the ball, which gave her direct passage to compete in the Queen's Cup in Guadalajara in April.[29] She finished third with ribbon and hoop, so she was unable to qualify, as only the gymnasts who obtained first place were eligible.[30] On March 16, she participated in free hands and ribbon in the 1st Phase of the Iberdrola Club League, held in Zaragoza, joining the ranks of Club Distrito III in the 2nd Division and making her debut in this competition. In it, she achieved 7th place in teams, won silver in free hands and 4th place with ribbon. The free hands exercise, which she debuted at this event, was created by Eduardo Martínez, principal dancer of the National Ballet.[31] On March 30, at the IV Spring Seasons Trophy in Leganés, she won gold with both hoop and ribbon.

The injury consisted of a tear of the internal meniscus, a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, an injury to the internal collateral ligament and a Baker's cyst.

Finally, on June 20, she competed with an injection in the Spanish Individual Championships in Palma de Mallorca, but after finishing her first exercise, hoop, with severe discomfort and pain in her knee, she had to abandon the competition.
