At the Olympics, Đerek attained an 11.433 on the balance beam and a 13.200 on the floor exercises, but she accidentally completed the simplest vault of all-time by mistiming her steps and running over the vaulting table, which resulted in an empty score and her withdrawal from the starting list on the uneven bars.[4] Consequently, Đerek did not rank in the qualification phase of the individual all-around competition.[5]

At the Doha World Cup on 25 March 2017, Đerek attained a 12.833 on balance beam and a 12.900 on floor exercise finals,[6] winning bronze for the latter.[7]

At the World Cup Series in Baku on 18 March 2018, Đerek scored 13,533 points on the floor exercise final to win gold.[8]
