Junior career[]

2014[]

Melnikova competed at the 2014 L'International Gymnix to win the team gold medal and all-around silver medal in Junior International Cup.

Her team placed first with a combined total score of 267.966. Individually Melnikova had a strong showing placing first in the Junior Master of the Sport All-Around with a score of 58.300. She also won two other gold medals on beam and floor with scores of 14.700 and 14.167 respectively. She competed in the uneven bars final and placed seventh.[4] The results of these championships were used to help determine the gymnasts who would compete at the European Championships in Sofia and due to her strong performance Melnikova was selected for the team.

In May 2014, Melnikova competed at the European Gymnastics Championships in the junior division alongside teammates Maria Bondareva, Daria Skrypnik, Seda Tutkhalyan and Anastasia Dmitrieva. As a team they placed first with a combined score of 168.268.

2015[]

Melnikova competed at the Junior Russian Championships in Penza, Russia on 1–4 April. She finished in 1st place with her team, then went on to take the silver in the all-around, 5th on the uneven bars, gold on the balance beam, and silver on the floor.

In September she performed at the Russian Cup. She was ineligible to compete due to her junior status, so performed as a guest. Her overall score of 57.234 was the highest of the competition, beating official champion Daria Spiridonova's score of 56.733.[6]

Melnikova competed at the Elite Gym Massilia meet in Marseille, France, in November, taking the all-around title ahead of France's Marine Brevet and Romania's Diana Bulimar, and winning a silver team medal for Russia with teammates Daria Skrypnik, Evgeniya Shelgunova and Natalia Kapitonova.

Melnikova made her senior international debut at the DTB Pokal Team Challenge Cup where Team Russia won the gold medal. Individually she scored the second highest all-around score behind Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland.

In early June Melnikova competed at the European Championships. During the team final she contributed on all four events towards Russia's first place finish. Individually she qualified to the balance beam and uneven bars event finals. She finished fifth on balance beam and withdrew from the uneven bars final so compatriot Daria Spiridonova could compete.

In July, Melnikova was selected to represent Russia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil alongside Aliya Mustafina, Maria Paseka, Daria Spiridonova, and Seda Tutkhalyan. At the Olympic Games she performed subpar, partially due to a strained hamstring suffered during podium training. In the qualifying session she fell off of the beam and again on floor, failing to qualify into the individual all-around or any of the event finals as many expected her to. She improved upon her performance in team finals, competing all 4 events, but still counting a fall on beam. Her performances contributed to Russia's team silver medal.

In November Melnikova competed at the Arthur Gander Memorial in Chiasso, Switzerland. She won the three-event all-around ahead of Eythora Thorsdottir and Jessica López.[8] Melnikova next competed at the Swiss Cup, a mixed pairs event where she was partnered with Nikita Ignatyev. They finished third behind the Ukrainian pair of Angelina Kysla and Oleg Verniaiev and the German pair of Kim Bui and Marcel Nguyen.[9]

Melnikova ended the year competing at the Toyota International held in Toyota, Japan. She finished fourth on vault, first on uneven bars, and second on balance beam and floor exercise behind Mai Murakami on both apparatuses.[10]

2017[]

Melnikova was named as team captain of the Russian women's national team starting in 2017, succeeding Olympic teammate Aliya Mustafina.[11] Melnikova started her season at the Russian National Championships in Kazan. Although she was expected to do well in the absence of Olympic champion Aliya Mustafina, as well as coming into the meet as the reigning national champion, she faltered throughout the competition on every event except vault, finishing 9th in the all-around. She also placed 3rd on vault and balance beam, falling on the latter. Despite her poor showing at nationals, Melnikova participated in the Stuttgart World Cup in March, placing second behind Germany's Tabea Alt and ahead of the USA's Morgan Hurd. She then competed at the City of Jesolo Trophy, where she received three bronze medals in the team all-around, vault, and floor exercise. Later she participated at the London World Cup. She competed poorly, falling on balance beam and floor exercise with major mistakes on uneven bars and vault. It was announced in April that she would attend the European Championships as part of the Russian team, along with 2016 Olympic teammate Maria Paseka, Elena Eremina, and Natalia Kapitonova. During qualification Melnikova fell on the balance beam and uneven bars and she did not qualify for the individual all-around final. However she qualified for the vault and floor exercise finals. During the vault final her form was not as good as the other gymnasts, resulting in her coming 8th. During the floor exercise final she performed a clean routine which resulted in her winning the gold medal ahead of British gymnast Ellie Downie and Eythora Thorsdottir from the Netherlands.[12]

In August Melnikova competed at the Russian Cup in Ekaterinburg, where she won the all-around ahead of Eremina and Maria Kharenkova. She also placed first on the balance beam and third on vault and in the team competition.

After the Russian Cup, Melnikova was selected to represent Russia at the World Championships along with Paseka, Eremina, and Anastasia Ilyankova. In qualifications Angelina competed the all-around, hitting her beam routine (12.600) but counting two falls and an out of bounds penalty on floor exercise due to a foot injury. Despite a low score of 11.166 on floor exercise she performed a clean Lopez and DTY (14.400) and hit her bars routine to qualify for the all-around final with a score of 53.132. Her uneven bars score, 14.966, was the fourth highest in the competition, but she was not allowed to advance to the final due to the two-per-country rule; both Eremina and Ilyankova scored higher, with a 15.100 and 15.066 respectively. Melnikova finished 16th in the all-around final.

In December, Melnikova competed at the Voronin Cup where she finished first in the all-around, ahead of Viktoria Komova.

2018[]

At the start of the season Melnikova was selected to compete at the Stuttgart, Birmingham, and Tokyo World Cups; however, she was pulled out of the Tokyo World Cup in favor of teammate and first year senior Angelina Simakova. Melnikova started off her season at the Stuttgart World Cup, where she finished fifth after botching her pirouetting elements on uneven bars, falling off the balance beam, and under rotating her piked full in on floor exercise. However, a week later at the Birmingham World Cup, she was able to improve on her performances, managing to get her pirouettes on bars without losing swing, avoiding a fall on beam, and managing better landings on floor. Her performance was good enough to win the meet, finishing ahead of USA's Margzetta Frazier.

In April Melnikova competed at the 2018 City of Jesolo Trophy where she claimed a gold medal with the Russian team, ahead of Italy and Brazil. On vault she won a silver medal; on uneven bars she claimed the bronze behind teammate Anastasia Ilyankova and USA's Ragan Smith. On balance beam she won another bronze medal, this time behind the American first-year senior Emma Malabuyo and Smith. She also finished fourth in the all-around, behind Malabuyo, Smith, and Ilyankova, and fifth on floor exercise.

A week later Melnikova competed at the Russian National Championships. On the first day of competition she earned a silver medal with the Central District team and qualified to the all-around and all four event finals. Several days later, after scoring 14.466 on vault, 14.433 on bars, 13.300 on beam, and 13.566 on floor exercise, Melnikova won the gold medal in the all around ahead of Angelina Simakova and Viktoria Komova.

In late June Melnikova competed at the Russian Cup. She was originally only going to compete uneven bars and balance beam due to nagging injuries, but later decided to compete all-around, where she finished first despite a fall on balance beam in qualification and a watered down floor routine.[13] She also finished first with the Central Federal District team in the team competition and in the uneven bars final. Melnikova did not compete in the remaining event finals due to her knee injuries.[14]

In August Melnikova competed at the European Championships in Glasgow. Together with her teammates Simakova, Alexeeva, Lilia Akhaimova, and Yuliana Perebinosova, she earned a gold medal in the team event.
