Mulyayeva made her first Kazakh team, as a 19-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she competed in the women's 200 m individual medley. She edged out Kyrgyzstan's Alexandra Zertsalova on the freestyle leg to lead the first heat in 2:24.09.[3]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Mulyayeva placed twenty-fifth in the 200 m individual medley. Swimming in the same heat from Sydney, she edged out Denmark's Louise Mai Jansen to save a fifth spot by nearly three seconds in 2:24.25.[4][5]

Mulyayeva decided to drop her specialty event, the 200 m individual medley, and experiment with the

Elaine Chan in 26.57. Mulyayeva failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed forty-sixth overall out of 92 swimmers in the preliminaries.[7]
