Career
Early career
In November 2016, Kanysheva won the gold medal at novice level of the Tallinn Trophy ahead of You Young (South Korea).
2017–2018 season
In January 2018, Kanysheva competed in the 2018 Russian Junior Championships. She placed 8th at the competition.
2018–2019 season
In August 2018, Kanysheva debuted on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in Linz, Austria. She was ranked 2nd in both the short program and the free skating and she won the silver medal behind Russian teammate Alena Kostornaia.[1]
At her 2nd JGP event of the season she won another silver medal, now in Yerevan, Armenia. She was ranked 2nd in the short program and the 3rd in the free skate. Kanysheva was about 33 points behind the gold medalist, her teammate Alexandra Trusova, but beat the bronze medalist, Yuhana Yokoi, by about 3.5 points. Both Kanysheva and her teammate Anna Tarusina won two silver medals during the JGP season. However, since Kanysheva accumulated more combined total points from her two JGP events than Tarusina, Kanysheva qualified for the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final while Tarusina did not. Kanysheva accumulated only about 4 points more than Tarusina.[2]
At the JGP Final Kanysheva won the bronze medal after placing 3rd in both the short program and the free skate. At this event she also scored her personal best score of 198.14 points.
