She is a two-time European Championships silver medallist and competed in the women's combined event at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

[2] Her grandparents were climbers; her grandmother won the championship of the Soviet Union in a competition in Crimea, the same place where her parents, Serik Kazbekov [es] and Natalia Perlova [uk], met and later owned a hotel.

In part in response to her efforts, in 2022, the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) cancelled several events scheduled to be held in Russia, and suspended all Russian athletes from their competitions.

[10] She has climbed the 8A+ (V12) graded bouldering problem called Partage in Fontainebleu in France, the 8c+ (5.14c) sport climbing route Pati Naso in Siurana in Spain,[2] and the 8c+ (5.14c) graded sport route Güllich at the Redstone crag in Crimea (and as the first female free ascent) in 2017.

[11] Kazbekova was one of the contenders for a place in sport climbing at the 2020 Summer Olympics, but fell short after a knee injury and illness prevented her from showing her best.
