Takahiko Kozuka only had to be just good enough to make it into the Grand Prix Final - but instead he did so in style, setting the highest free skate score of all men this season (170.43) and now heads to Beijing as the top qualifier. Florent Amodio fought off the field to earn the highly contested final spot, meaning that the men's qualifiers for Beijing are-
1. Takahiko Kozuka JPN
2. Daisuke Takahashi JPN
3. Patrick Chan CAN
4. Tomas Verner CZE
5. Nobunari Oda JPN
6. Florent Amodio FRA

Three American skaters just missed out.
7. Jeremy Abbott USA
8. Brandon Mroz USA
9. Adam Rippon USA
Brian Joubert withdrew from the competition before the free skate started, reportedly for medical reasons (suffering from gastroenteritis)
