Aliya Mustafina vs Vanessa Ferrari (2012 Floor Final)

Mustafina clearly had better execution with stuck landings and no hip angle when she landed.  Ferrari clearly had more difficulty, starting off with a double twisting double back somersault and performing a new element in the CoP, a ring leap 1/1.
