She won three medals at the Winter Olympics with a gold in the 4×5 km (1976), a silver in the 4×5 km (1980), and a bronze in the 5 km (1976). In the relay in 1976, she injured her left hand in a fall at the start, but completed the race.[2]
At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships Fyodorova earned two gold (3×5 km: 1970, 4×5 km: 1974) and one bronze medals (5 km: 1970). Domestically she won one individual Soviet title, over 5 km in 1971, and eight relay titles (1969–73, 1975–76, 1979).
