Andrei Mozalev of Russia rose from second after the Short Program to capture the gold after the Free Skate in the Men's event on Friday night in Tallinn, Estonia. Japan's Yuma Kagiyama slipped to second for the silver, while Russia's Petr Gumennik catapulted to third to pocket the bronze.
Mozalev checked off his elements one by one, opening with a quad toe-double toe, quad toe and triple loop. He put a hand down on the landing of a triple Axel (in combination with a double toe) and later had to hang on to a solo triple Axel, however, landed a solid triple Lutz-triple toe and triple flip.
"I approached the event like I always do, like in training, and I was calm," Mozalev said. "The performance was not the best, there were mistakes on the triple Axel and the quads were not perfect."

There were definitely some surprises in this event! Some good, some not so good. Hats off to all the young men who gave it their all!
Who do you think has made the most improvement this season? Who and/or what were your highlights?
