## Career
### Junior

She debuted into major competitions at the 2021 international tournament in Moscow in February, winning bronze in the all-around, 5th with hoop, ball, clubs and 12th with ribbon. In April, she participated in the Sofia Cup in Bulgaria, topping the all-around. In May she came second in the all-around and ball, and 3rd with clubs and topping hoop at the Irina Deleanu cup in Bucharest. In September she competed at the Gdynia Cup.
In 2022 she returned to the Moscow Grand Prix, winning silver in all events. She won the all-around at the Gdynia Cup and also won all the apparatus finals except hoop, where she finished in second. The following week, she attended the World Challenge Cup in Portimão, getting bronze with hoop, silver with clubs and gold with ribbon. Lewińska was then selected for the 2022 European Championship in Tel Aviv, Israel. She was the only junior gymnast representing Poland in the competition. She qualified for all four event finals and won two silvers with hoop and clubs and bronze with ribbon.
At the 2023 Fellbach-Schmiden's international tournament, she didn't compete in the team competition but won silver with hoop and ribbon as well as gold with clubs. In March she won gold in the all-around at the Aphrodite Cup in the category for those born in 2008 and silver with ball. At the IT Sofia Cup, she won silver in the all-around as well as with hoop. In May she won gold in teams, the all-around and with ball and clubs at the Gdynia Cup. Additionally, she won a silver with ribbon and bronze with hoop. In July she competed at the Junior World Championships in Cluj-Napoca alongside the junior national group, where she made history by winning gold in the clubs and ribbon finals.

### Senior

In 2024, she made her senior debut at World Cup Palaio Faliro, Greece, where she ended in 11th place in the all-around and won a bronze medal in the hoop final. In April, she competed at Sofia World Cup and took 7th place in the all-around. She qualified to two apparatus finals: clubs (6th) and ribbon (5th). She won her second World Cup medal at Tashkent World Cup, a bronze in the ribbon final.
In May, Lewińska competed at the European Championships in Budapest, Hungary, where she finished 10th in the all-around final and won a silver medal in the clubs final. It was European medal won at the senior level by a gymnast representing Poland. The Polish team won 7th place in the team competition.
She failed to qualify to the 2024 Summer Olympics, being beaten by Vera Tugolukova, who won the quota for Cyprus. However, before the allocation of the spot was officially confirmed, the Polish Gymnastics Federation alleged that the judging was corrupt and that Lewińska's scores were lowered, preventing her from winning the Olympic berth. The supervising judge who changed Lewińska's scores was a Cypriot national. The Polish Gymnastics Federation's president announced their intention to protest the results, and they filed appeals to the International Gymnastics Federation and the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation. He later said that some of the judges at the competition had filed complaints as well. The Polish Minister of Sport, Sławomir Nitras, also intervened by sending a letter to the FIG Executive Committee.
In February 2025, Evangelia Trikomiti, who was president of the superior jury at the 2024 European Championships, was banned from the sport for four years after the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) ruled she had altered the scores at the competition to ensure Tugolukova finished in the Olympic qualification place.
In 2025, Lewinska began her season in late February by competing for the Italian club Polimnia Ritmica Romana during the first stage of the Italian Serie A1 club championship. She performed her new hoop routine and her team reached 9th place. In March, she won gold medal in the all-around in front of Emilia Heichel at the Polish Cup, then won the silver all-around medal at the Gymnastik International behind Anastasia Simakova.
