Career

= 2019–20 season: Junior international debut =
Despite initially not receiving any Junior Grand Prix assignments, Frolova made her international junior debut in September 2019 at the 2019 JGP Croatia, replacing an injured Alena Kanysheva. Frolova placed third in both the short program and the free skate to finish third overall behind South Korean gold medalist Lee Hae-in and fellow Russian silver medalist Daria Usacheva.
At her second assignment, the 2019 JGP Italy in October, Frolova won the silver medal behind then training mate Ksenia Sinitsyna{{cite news |url=https://origin.tgam.arcpublishing.com/sports/article-calgary-figure-skater-kaiya-ruiter-finishes-sixth-at-isu-junior-grand-2/|format= |title=Calgary figure skater Kaiya Ruiter finishes sixth at ISU Junior Grand Prix|newspaper= The Globe and Mail|date= 5 October 2019|publisher= The Globe and Mail Inc. |accessdate=2020-02-11 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240422123019/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-calgary-figure-skater-kaiya-ruiter-finishes-sixth-at-isu-junior-grand-2/ |archive-date=April 22, 2024}} despite falling from second to fourth in the free skate standings. With her two medals, Frolova earned a total of 24 qualifying points toward the 2019–20 Junior Grand Prix Final, tying with Viktoria Vasilieva. However, due to Vasilieva's higher combined total score across both of her Junior Grand Prix events, Frolova was named the first alternate to the event.
Frolova next competed at the 2020 Russian Figure Skating Championships. She placed 7th in the short program and later climbed to 5th in the free skate to finish 6th overall,{{cite web|url=http://www.rinkresults.com/skater?skater_name=Anna_FROLOVA|format=|title=Anna FROLOVA|publisher=rinkresults.com|accessdate=2020-02-11|archive-date=2024-01-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240130162923/https://www.rinkresults.com/skater?skater_name=Anna_FROLOVA|url-status=live}} against just behind Ksenia Sinitsyna.{{cite web|url=https://www.fsrussia.ru/results/1920/rusnat1920/ENG/CAT002RS.HTM|title=Rostelecom Russian Nationals 2020.

Due to her result, she was initially named the first alternate to the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics but was called up after Viktoria Vasilieva suffered an injury.
At the 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games, Frolova placed third in the short program{{cite web|url=https://www.lausanne2020.sport/en/news/figure-skating/social_media_star_you_takes_lead_in_ladies_figure_skating|format=|title=Social media star You takes lead in ladies' figure skating|publisher=lausanne2020.sport|accessdate=2020-02-11|archive-date=2020-08-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200813031413/https://www.lausanne2020.sport/en/news/figure-skating/social_media_star_you_takes_lead_in_ladies_figure_skating|url-status=live}} and fourth in the free skate to win the bronze medal overall{{cite web|url=https://www.lausanne2020.sport/results/nh/en/Participant/ParticipantInfo/3eb47b5f-5b24-4e9c-a49b-ed6fde3e6e09|format=|title=Athlete Information|publisher=lausanne2020.sport|accessdate=2020-02-11|archive-date=2020-01-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200115123236/https://www.lausanne2020.sport/results/nh/en/Participant/ParticipantInfo/3eb47b5f-5b24-4e9c-a49b-ed6fde3e6e09|url-status=live}} behind Young You in first place{{cite web |title=You Young claims title at YOG women's single figure skating |url=http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-01/14/c_138701968.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227141007/http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-01/14/c_138701968.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 27, 2020 |website=www.xinhuanet.com |accessdate=27 February 2020 |date=14 January 2020}} and Kseniia Sinitsyna in second.{{cite web|url=https://tass.com/sport/1107989|format=|title=Russian figure skaters win silver, bronze in ladies' singles at 2020 Youth Olympics.
