Dudnik made her first and only Russian squad in the women's double trap, one of the events later removed from the Olympic program, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She achieved a minimum qualifying score of 101 to fill out one of the Olympic places for Russia won by Elena Rabaia from the European Championships in Brno, Czech Republic.[1][3][4] Dudnik improved her career feat by shooting 105 hits out of 120 to force a ninth-place tie with defending Olympic champion Pia Hansen of Sweden in the qualifying round, missing out the final by two targets.[5][6]
