Her latest British selection call comes a year on from making her senior Great Britain debut at the FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup series event in Bulgaria last April.
Just a few months later she went on to qualify as the youngest gymnast in the rhythmic Commonwealth all-around final at the age of 15.
Popova also qualified for the individual ball and clubs apparatus finals – finishing fifth in the latter.
