Berultseva competed at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament held in Paris, France hoping to qualify for 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. She did not qualify at this tournament but she was able to qualify via Continental representation soon after.
Berultseva gained a bronze medal for Kazakhstan in Women’s +61 Kg Kumite Category at the Karate competition of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[2] Feryal Abdelaziz beat her, 5:4, to claim a place in the gold medal event against Azerbaijan’s Irina Zaretska. Berultseva however was guaranteed a bronze medal as peculiarly karate does not have a third place play-off match and the losing semi finalists both get a bronze medal.[3][4]
