A couple of tournament ideas - tournament performance and My tournaments navigation

Hi all

I have a couple of ideas which I think might be fun for consideration at least :

1) On multipage tournaments, maybe celebrate the top performance for that page to give them a kind of award like Page 1

So fo example Page 97 even of a tournament it indicates something like
'Best performance for Page 97: Bob - 2202 performance'
Rating performance was used as a tiebreaker recently fro the IOM tournament - it is nice perhaps to celebrate the top rating performance player on a particular page.

2) On the listing of one's own tournaments I would like to see the previous editions of the particular tournament type I just played in. So for example last night I managed to win the weekly blitz, and I wanted to see how I did in past editions of the Weekly blitz, but it is very hard to do this right now.

Feedback welcome from all
I like the second point a lot, as of the first point I dont really see much point to it, for players equal on tournament points I think lichess uses performance rating as a tiebreak anyways, some players might play many games and have a solid performance rating of 2200 while another guy just latejoins the tournament gets a bunch of games against u-2000 players and wins them so has a performance of 2400 or something, for big tournaments like the marathon it might be useful but nothing groundbreaking, the second idea though can be very useful.
as a additional idea, I also think if someone wins a lichess marathon trophy, clicking on it on their profile should link the the tournament standings page, similarly if someone is top 100 or top 50 or top 10 and so on and has a trophy on their profile, clicking on it should link to the top 100 of that category page. like if someone has top 100 blitz trophy, clicking should link to standings page of top 100 blitz players
