Krasniqi represented Kosovo at the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan which also marked her debut appearance at the Olympics and claimed a gold medal in the women's 48kg event.[14][15][16]

She won the Female Athlete of the Year award at the 2021 Judo Awards.[17]

Krasniqi won the silver medal in her event at the 2022 Judo Grand Slam Paris held in Paris, France.[18] She won the gold medal in the women's 52 kg event at the 2022 Mediterranean Games held in Oran, Algeria.[19]

In 2023, Krasniqi lost her bronze medal match in the women's 52 kg event at the World Judo Championships held in Doha, Qatar.
