Gold medalitst Tatsuki Machida of Japan performed a quad toe loop in his free skate. The base value was 10.30 and with positive GOE it was worth 10.87.
Silver medalist Konstantin Menshov of Russia performed a quad toe+single toe in his short program which had a base value of 10.70 but with negative GOE of 3 points was worth 7.70 points. I assume all that negative GOE comes from doing a single jump. In the free skate he did a quad toe loop +double toe loop that had a 11.70 base value but with positive GOE of 1.43 was worth 13.13 points.
Bronze medalist Peter Liebers of Germany and fourth place finisher Armin Mahbanoozadeh of the US tried to do quad toes in their free skates but tripled them.
Michal Brezina of the Czech Republic who was the frontrunner to win had trouble with the debut his quad salchow which was doubled in both the short and long programs. Everyone says in practice it is great but maybe nerves got to him.
