Komova should be World Champion

But isn’t.

Judges awarded 14.333 (5.70/8.633) on Floor leaving her in second place.

I don’t get that.

… yet scores do look reasonably correct, relative to one another:

Wieber 6.0D + 8.9E with .1 out-of-bounds = 14.8
Komova 5.7D + 8.633 E for 14.333

I’m too old, perhaps, thinking that the winner of a major meet should be the top athlete with the fewest errors. It certainly felt like Komova won this meet.

I’ll link to others who think judges got it right.

Komova is the favourite for Olympics, I reckon. She’ll be VERY motivated now.
