Wieber over Mustafina

Marcus, with the benefit of video review, scored it thus, later correcting his math:

Wieber (58.6)
VT – 6.5, 9.2 – 15.7
UB – 6.3, 7.3 – 13.6
BB – 6.0, 9.1 – 15.1
FX – 5.8, 8.5, -0.1 ND – 14.2

Mustafina (58.457.4)
VT – 6.5, 8.7 – 15.2
UB – 6.9, 8.7 – 15.6
BB – 6.3, 8.1, -0.1 ND – 14.3
FX – 5.0, 7.3 – 13.3 12.3

I decided to be nice and give Mustafina the 3-1/2, because if I took that off, she would’ve been 1.3 behind Wieber.

For reference, Mustafina putting her hand down before her feet on the front 1/2

Her short 3-1/2

As you can see, she cheats it around and the judges fell for it.

So, taking that into account, I think Wieber more than deserved to win.

Certainly Aliya should have got credit for the 3 1/2 twist on Floor. No question in my mind.
