Krivoshapka suffered an injury in an unusual fashion in early 2010 – while doing sprint training on a track in Volgograd, a young boy walked into her path and she strained her back in the ensuing collision. She missed the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships as a result but fully recovered in time for the outdoor season. Later that year at the 2010 European Athletics Championships, she claimed the 400 m bronze medal. She won a silver medal as part of the Europe 4 × 400 m relay team at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup. At the 2013 World Athletics Championships in Moscow, she initially finished third in the individual 400 m race.
