At the 2011 World Championships, Livchikova was injured after podium training. Her injury turned out to be an ACL injury, and it prevented Livchikova from competing for the remainder of the season. The Ukrainian team performed very poorly in the qualification round. They finished 19th with a score of 204.229. This meant that Ukraine did not qualify for the London Test Event, and they could only send one female gymnast to the 2012 Olympics.
