2010
The season was marred by injuries for Semenova, who had to sit out the earlier competitions to rest a painful back injury. Nevertheless, she competed at the European Championships in Brussels on floor and beam and qualified for the floor final, from which she eventually gave up her spot to let her teammate Anna Myzdrikova (who went on to win the silver medal) compete. She also contributed to Russia's win in the team final. Semenova was selected to compete at the World Championships in Rotterdam, again only competing in two events. Whereas her beam routine in the qualifying round was steady and well-executed, she counted two falls in her floor exercise on her opening pass (double layout) and on her double pike. Another steady beam routine helped her team to win Russia's first team World title in history and earned Semenova her second World title.
