Head coach Andrei Rodionenko said that, despite her injury, Komova had a good shot to make the Worlds team because of her experience.

In December, she was slated to compete at the Voronin Cup alongside her 2012 Olympic teammates Ksenia Afanasyeva and Anastasia Grishina, both of whom were recovering from injuries of their own.

In June, Komova made her return to major international competition at the 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.

However, because the two higher scores were from her own teammates, she did not qualify into the individual all-around final, which is limited to only one gymnast per country in this particular competition.

Competing on bars and beam, she helped earn a silver medal for the Central Federal District team.

[48] After the Russian Cup, she was named to the provisional team for the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, as a specialist on vault, uneven bars, and balance beam because her floor exercise was not ready for the all-around competition.

[49] After advancing to the bars final, she scored a 15.366, which put her in an unprecedented four-way tie for first place with countrywoman Daria Spiridonova, Fan Yilin of China, and Madison Kocian of the United States.

[62] Lauded for her supple carriage and ability to combine both artistry and strength, Komova is considered one of the most dominant female gymnasts of the 2010s, despite being plagued with injuries and long breaks away from competitions in the later half of her senior career.
