Josh recorded a 39.22, 500m to end up in 24th position. Given that Josh is more of a distance skater, this was a respectable time.
He then backed up to skate the 5000m and recorded a 7:02.12 to once again finish in 24th place. Given that Josh was only invited to compete at this event in the days prior to it commencing, I'm sure his preparation was not what would be expected of someone expecting to compete. Given this, I think that Josh's time are respectable.
Josh is sitting on 81.432 points leading into the 1500m event today.
