Saidiyeva was selected to compete for Kazakhstan in the women's individual recurve at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There, she discharged a score of 625 points, 9 perfect tens, and 3 bull's eyes to seal the thirty-sixth seed in the classification stage, but could not get past Ukraine's Anastasia Pavlova from the opening round, abruptly ending her Olympic debut in a severe 0–6 defeat.
