**ROUND 1**
21 21 22 on what i would've liked to be 21 20 21, still a solid work with quite some luck
20 to slice on all solves lol
also mallard gives a funny 19 on all of these

**ROUND 2**
21 23 21, almost lost my sub-22.00 streak there phew. A1 was good, A2 was bad and there was not much i could have done with it, though Jack did get a funny 21 himself. A3 is probably one of my funniest official fumbles lol? solved my slice wrong to miss a 20, which indirectly made me lose the opportunity to find a 19 or even 18 later on. so 20.67 fail again i guess? i don't mind so much, lol

22, 21, 22 = 21.67 PR mean! (Also PR single, lol)
Very unexpected sub 22, my goal going into this competition was only 22.67 :)

This was my first in-person major and i'm honestly really happy with how i did. My goal for this comp was to not go above 23 on any solve and hopefully get a top10, which i did. Overall I missed 1.33 on the set which is a bit better than average for me and 0.67 from my drs which is a bit bad but it's ok.
On a1 i did miss some things but this was expected due to it being my first solve at a major and so many other good people getting a 23 as well softened this a lot. Then the miss on a2 was much worse and essentially cost me second place, but my final solution was so cool that i honestly don't mind, as I've said in the solve comment i regret not finding 22 from my htr more than i do missing the dr for 21. And then a3 couldn't have gone better, getting a 19 in the first half of the attempt and being one of only 5 people to contribute to the woaj on this solve(the least number of people to do so out of the 3 solves).
Congrats once again to Krzysztof for winning with an insane solution on a1 and to Rogo and Moritz on the second place with very solid a2 and a3.
Thanks to everyone whom i got to compete against, I'm so happy to finally have met in person so many people I've been talking to on discord for ages. Hopefully we get to meet again🙂

PR mo3 24.67, was one of my goals for 2026 to get sub 25 mean :) guess i need a new goal now with 4 months left
also has to be PB for DR length mo3, very lucky that the short DRs gave reasonable continuations. don't know if i've ever found so many DRs < 11 in a set before. other than +4 for wrong slice, got very manageable finishes too.
A1: 9+4 -> +6 DF
A2: 10+3 -> +6 to wrong slice, +4 safety
A3: 9+2 -> +7 to slice, +1
do feel like this one is a bit of a scam though, didn't practice at all and just got lucky. don't know if i really deserved it but result is result i guess. to some extent FMC is just about doing more attempts until you get something good so maybe it's fine idk. wonder how long it'll take to get a set like this again
