Individually she placed fifth in the all-around.[13] After a subpar performance, Simakova was replaced by Aliya Mustafina on the European Championships team.[14] She was added back onto the Euros team after Mustafina withdrew.[15]

At the European Championships qualified to the all-around final in sixteenth place and was the first reserve for the balance beam final.[16] During the all-around final Simakova finished in ninth place after falling twice.[17]

In August Simakova competed at the Russian Cup. After two days of competition she finished sixth in the all-around competition.[18] Shortly after the conclusion of the Russian Cup Simakova was named to the nominative team for the 2019 World Championships alongside Angelina Melnikova, Daria Spiridonova, Lilia Akhaimova, and Aleksandra Shchekoldina.[19] She was later injured during the training camp and was replaced by Maria Paseka.[20]

[edit]

In February it was announced that Simakova would represent Russia at the Tokyo World Cup taking place on April 4.[21] The Tokyo World Cup was later canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic in Japan.[22] In December Simakova competed at the Voronin Cup. She only competed on uneven bars and balance beam, placing first and second respectively.

Simakova received a two year ban for doping (furosemide) starting June 2, 2022.[23]
