The last gold place gets harder

Kajetan Schweighofer’s recorded move from 56.11 to 58.06 takes the entry from sixteenth to fifteenth, the last of the board’s fifteen provisional gold places. The gold score rises from 57.08 at the midnight baseline to 58.06. Youssef Nader also improves, reaching eighteenth at 54.72, but that leaves a 3.34-point gap to the new line. Final medals remain open.

nvbanana closes on the podium

nvbanana remains fourth at 79.17 after a recorded score-event increase from 77.08. It now trails third-placed rabbithole, unchanged at 80.56, by 1.39. The fresh nvbanana roster lists Jean-François Puget and Darragh Hanley; its ARC-2 entry remains separate from NVARC3 on ARC-3. Tufa Labs leads at 88.06 and Yi-Chia Chen is second at 83.89, both unchanged against the baseline. The podium remains intact even as fourth moves nearer.

Big climbs below the gold line

The overnight wire recorded guoqin gu’s score-event leap from 27.64 to 46.39 and from 1,764th to 29th. That was a substantial climb, but its score remains below the new gold line. Lashen Learning’s earlier observed 52.78 likewise falls short; its appearance in the saved window does not establish when the team entered the contest. Against the edition baseline, Hack2Publish gains 1.94 to reach 34.58 and 73rd. These advances broaden the chasing field without yet disturbing the leaders.
