In the Russian Triathlon Federation's ranking of the year 2009 Dmitrieva was the number 1 and she also won the Russian Cup in 2009 although she took part in only 3 of the relevant 10 races. At the Russian Championships of the year 2010 she won the supersprint silver medal and on the Olympic Distance she won bronze.
At the World Military Triathlon Championship of the year 2006 (Satenas, Sweden) Dmitrieva won the gold medal with her Russian team, in the individual ranking she placed 3rd. At the Military Championship of the year 2008 (Otepää, Estonia), Dmitrieva won the silver medal in the team ranking and placed 4th in the individual ranking.
In 2009, Dmitrieva also took part in the prestigious French Club Championship Series Lyonnaise des Eaux and represented the club Charleville Tri Ardennes. At the triathlon in Longchamp (Paris), for instance, Olga Dmitrieva placed 19th and thus proved to be the club's best elite triathlete, followed by the foreign athletes Danne Boterenbrood (20th) from the Netherlands, Karolien Geerts (32nd) from Belgium, and Alia Cardinale Villalobos (35th) from Costa Rica. At the Grand Final of the Club Championship Series in La Baule Dmitrieva placed 20th and was the second best among the CHARLEVILLE triathletes and this time it was Katrien Verstuyft from Belgium to be the best Charleville triathlete (18th).
In 2010, Dmitrieva took part in four of the five sprint triathlons of the Lyonnaise des Eaux circuit: at Dunkirk (23 May 2010) she placed 16th, at the Traithlon de Paris (18 July 2010) 21st, at Tourangeaux (29 August 2010) 16th, and at the Grand Final in la Baule (18 September 2010) 28th. Thus she proved to be the best triathlete of her club apart from the triathlon in La Baule, where Dmitrieva was the second best of her club. In 2010, again, Charleville Tri Ardennes had to rely completely on foreign elite stars, all of his female triathletes were foreigners with the only exception of Jeanne Collonge who was among Charleville's triathletes at Dunkirk.
