Sevastyanova competed as an individual gymnast on the junior level, appearing in international competitions. She competed in Miss Valentine 2005 in Estonia with Margarita Mamun. Later, she started competing with the Russian Group.

Sevastyanova was a member of the Russian Junior Group that won the gold medal at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. In 2012, she was selected to compete with the Russian Senior Group as a replacement for the injured Natalia Pichuzhkina. They won the gold medal at the 2012 European Championships and at the World Cup Final in Minsk.

With Uliana Donskova, Anastasia Bliznyuk, Alina Makarenko, Anastasia Nazarenko, and Ksenia Dudkina, Sevastyanova won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the group all-around event.[1] They ate only buckwheat for six months leading up to the Olympic Games.[2] Sevastyanova was voted the most beautiful female athlete from the CIS countries participating at the 2012 Olympics. 17,200 people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan took part in the survey.[3] Sevastyanova retired from competition at the age of 17 following the event. She planned to get her college degree at Moscow State University and explore working as a TV presenter or host.

Sevastyanova appeared in the cover of the Russian edition of Maxim magazine in February 2015.

gollark: The negative timedeltas thing was a great idea without flaw utterly.

gollark: As a new mRNA strand is generated by the action of the RNA polymerase II machinery on a stretch of DNA, it gets a “cap” attached to the end that’s coming out from the DNA (the “5-prime” end), a special nucleotide (7-methylguanosine) that’s used just for that purpose. But don’t get the idea that the new mRNA strand is just waving in the nucleoplasmic breeze – at all points, the developing mRNA is associated with a whole mound of specialized RNA-binding proteins that keep it from balling up on itself like a long strand of packing tape, which is what it would certainly end up doing otherwise.
gollark: You ARE to produce macron.
