At an early age, Anisia (then Kornikova) began her career in race walking. This sport in terms of entertainment is no worse than jumping or running. This discipline is included in the program of the Olympics. The girl got into this sport as a result of an interesting event. At the age of nine, young Anisya was with her friends in the forest. There, the children met the famous walking race coach Konstantin Nacharkin. He invited them to enroll in the sports section, and they agreed. Shortly after this event in the forest, Kirdyapkina, along with her comrades, began training in the walking race section. Friends almost immediately refused to attend classes, and Anisia fell in love with this sport and wanted to achieve high sports results.
The beginning of a sports career and a meeting with a future husband
Kirdyapkina Anisya Byasyrovna began performing at city competitions. There she always won prizes. The girl enjoyed the performances and dreamed of going to the Olympic Games. In her teens, Anisia met at the competitions with Sergey Kirdyapkin, who was also professionally involved in walking. He possessed great talent and was much more technical than his peers.
Only with time did the friendship between them develop into a relationship. After she turned 18 years old, lovers played a wedding. The coaches were very afraid that Anisia would stop performing in race walking. However, their fears were in vain. The family life of the athlete had a positive effect on her performances. The first success came to Kirdyapkina in 2007. Kirdyapkina Anisya Byasyrovna climbed the podium in the Russian Winter Championship, European Championship and European Cup.

Her husband Sergey Alexandrovich Kirdyapkin also performed at this world championship at a distance of 50 kilometers. His championship run took place 5 days after the performance of Kirdyapkina.
After Anisia showed a high level of performances at the national championship, and then at the European Championship. In 2011, the athlete once again participated in the winter championship. She lost the winner by just one second. The following year, her dream finally came true. She joined the national team to participate in the Olympic Games. There Anisia showed a good result, but following the results of the competition she again took only fifth place. Kirdyapkina did not hide her regret.
