For most of her career, she competed under her birth name, Galina Maniachenko. In the early 1990s, she competed in pair skating with Evgeni Zhigurski, coached by Nina Mozer.[1] The pair won the bronze medal at the 1994 World Junior Championships.[2] However, in 1995 she was severely injured after her partner's blade hit her face while they were practicing side-by-side camel spins.[3] Maniachenko retired from skating but after a year and a half she decided to return to competition as a singles skater.[3]

Maniachenko won the Ukrainian national title three times and competed at two Olympics (2002, 2006). She won gold medals at Nebelhorn Trophy, Karl Schäfer Memorial, Ondrej Nepela Memorial, and silver medals at the Winter Universiade and Golden Spin of Zagreb. Maniachenko won a Grand Prix bronze medal at 2003 Cup of Russia. At the European Championships, she finished as high as fourth in 2002. In 2005, she began competing as Galina Efremenko. She had a number of injuries towards the end of her career.[4] After competing at her second Olympics, she decided to retire from competition.
