In Mens, Japan's Takahiko Kozuka won the event handily, but the true crowd favorite was the very impressive Florent Amodio of France. What a great Grand Prix this has been for him. And USA's Brandon Mroz snagged his second Grand Prix medal.

In the ladies event, American Mirai Nagasu won the free skate but it was only good enough for a silver medal. To be honest, it was not a great effort even though it won the free. She had two underrotated triples, two edge calls, and completely abandoned a spin. I am more worried about those edge calls and underrotations than I would have been about a random fall. I have to check the news to see if there is a story behind that spin issue other than a lack of focus. She was adorable when she found out she'd medaled, though. I love how happy she was. Kiira Korpi sold her program better than Nagasu did, and won the gold despite some errors. Her enthusiasm at winning was also quite adorable and contagious. Alissa Czisny held on for bronze despite a flawed program as well.
