Starting in 2025 the Artistic Gymnastics Federation of Russia began letting their athletes to apply for neutral status, allowing them to return to international competition.[3] In late November of that year, Kauimova competed at the 2025 Junior World Championships where she qualified to the all-around and uneven bars finals. During the all-around final she finished sixth.[4][5] During the uneven bars final Kaiumova won gold, becoming the second Russian to win the title after Vladislava Urazova did so in 2019, although Kaiumova's title is not attributed to Russia due to her competing as an neutral athlete.[6][7]
