Career

Kryvytska has won three world championship bronze medals. She competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Women's épée, and was defeated in the second round. She was also part of the Ukrainian women's épée team that finished in 8th place.
She originally took up fencing in Ternopil, Ukraine, having moved there from Russia in the early 1990s.
In March 2022, speaking of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, she said her fellow athletes from Russia: "need to pick a side. Too many are keeping quiet and saying nothing. That's not acceptable, because they're involved; they belong to Russia. If they have a lot of followers on Instagram, they have to speak out and say that they are on the side of peace, and that their president is doing terrible things."
