At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Surkieva switched to a lighter class by competing in the women's middleweight division, despite that she weighed 72 kilograms. She lost again in her first preliminary match by a more formidable opponent, two-time medalist and four-time Olympian Kate Howey of Great Britain, who scored an automatic ippon at three minutes and twenty-three seconds.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Surkieva competed for the second time in the women's 70 kg class. She received a bye for the second preliminary match, before losing out to Ronda Rousey of the United States, who eventually won the bronze medal in this division.[2][3]
In 2014 Asian Beach Games won silver medal.
