In 2023, Sarantseva was again selected for the junior Asian Championships in Manila, where she won gold with hoop.[3] In July she won bronze with the same apparatus at the Junior World Championships in Cluj-Napoca.[4] Along with Mishel Nesterova's bronze medal in ribbon, it was the first time a gymnast representing Uzbekistan had won a World Championships medal at either the junior or senior level.[5]

In 2024 she had her senior international debut at the Gymnastik International in Germany, where she won silver in the all-around behind Daniela Munits from Israel and silver in the ribbon final. She also competed in the World Cup in Sofia, where she placed 19th in the all-around, and in the World Cup Baku, where she placed 22nd. In both events, she was the second reserve for the ribbon final.[6][7]

In May, she competed at the 2024 Asian Championships, which were held in her hometown of Tashkent. She competed with ball and ribbon only and made the finals for both; in each final, she placed 5th.[8] She won gold in the team competition along with Takhmina Ikromova, Nataliya Usova, and the senior group.
