Prokopenko also won a team gold medal at the 2007 World Modern Pentathlon Championships in Berlin, Germany, along with her compatriots Tatsiana Mazurkevich and Hanna Vasilionak.
At the 2018 World Modern Pentathlon Championships in Mexico City, Prokopenko won the world title in the women's individual event [5] as well as in the Women's Relay event (together with compatriot Iryna Prasiantsova)[6]
