Last year all medalists did quads and tried quad combos. This year the winner didn't attempt a single non combo quad. This in the year of the quad return. Obviously Joubert made a mistake in the short program falling on a triple Lutz and Verner falling on a triple axel. But the long is supposed to matter more and they did quads so this whole event has a pretty shocking ending!
