Muzaferija was the first woman from Bosnia and Herzegovina to appear in downhill.[2] On 10 February 2020, she achieved her best result in European Cup in Crans-Montana, Switzerland taking the 10th place in Super-G. On 19 February 2023, in Europa Cup in Crans-Montana, Elvedina was 15th in the downhill race, and day before she was 2nd also in downhill, which is the best result of any skier from Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3] Her previous best was achieved on 15 February 2021 as she finished 16th in World Cup, which was, at the time, the best placement of any Bosnian alpine skiers in the country's history.[4] In World Cup in France, in February 2023, she was 15th in alpine combination race, 20th in downhill and 25th in Super-G.[5] On 27 January 2024, Muzaferia took 14th place in the Super-G race in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, a day after she took 25th place in downhill.[6]
She was also the first alpine skier from Bosnia and Herzegovina to score points in the World Cup[7] even though she has not received much, if any, support from Bosnian Ski association.[8]
