The results of the 2022 IMO International Mathematical Olympiad have come out. The Chinese team ranked first. All six participants not only won gold medals, but all got full marks. This is the second time in the history of IMO that all staff get full marks.

Recorded is the 1994 American Mathematical Olympiad team. The 2022 IMO International Mathematical Olympiad will be held in Oslo, the capital of Norway from July 6th to 16th.

There are 589 students from 104 countries in the world participating in the competition. 6 people representing China participated in a remote online way. They came from the following Cities and Secondary Schools: Zhang Zhicheng, Zhang Yiran from Hubei High School Attached to Central China Normal University (Second High School), Liao Yubo from Shanghai Middle School (Second High School), Jiangcheng from Beijing High School (Second High School), Qu Xiaoyu from Shanghai Middle School (Second High School).

The top ten countries in the IMO International Mathematics Olympiad in 2022 are: China (6 gold), South Korea (3 gold, 3 silver), the United States (4 Gold 1 Silver 1 Bronze) Vietnam (2 Gold 2 Silver 2 Bronze) Romania (2 Gold 4 Silver) Thailand (3 Gold 2 Silver 1 Bronze) .

S. Korea ranks 2nd at int'l youth math competition​

All News 09:17 July 15, 2022

SEOUL, July 15 (Yonhap) -- South Korea ranked second at this year's youth international mathematics competition in Norway earlier this month, with China clinching the top spot, the event's organizers said Friday.

The six-member South Korean delegation earned a combined 208 points with three gold medals and as many silvers at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2022 that took place in Oslo from July 6-15, according the IMO's website.

South Korea finished in second place out of 104 countries. Last year, Seoul ranked third with five golds and one silver.

China claimed the first spot at this year's event with a full 252 points after winning gold medals in all six problems. It marks the second time since 1994 that a participating nation has received full marks. The United States achieved the feat 28 years ago.

The IMO is an annual worldwide competition for exceptionally talented high school students. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, and South Korea won the championship twice in 2012 and 2017.

In the run-up to the competition, the IMO's board suspended Russia's membership due to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine but allowed Russian students to take part in their private capacity.

China takes home the top 3 golds in 54th International Chemistry Olympiad​

US wins 1 gold and 3 silver medals at the annual high school chemistry competition

High school students from China earned the top three gold medals in the 54th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO), which was hosted remotely from Tianjin July 10–18. The US team was awarded one gold and three silver medals.

Jack Liu, a graduate of Carmel High School in Indiana; Nathan Ouyang, from University High School in Irvine, California; Gideon Tzafriri, a graduate of Lexington High School in Massachusetts; and Phoenix Wu, from Seven Lakes High School in Texas, made up the US team.

More than 300 students from 84 countries took part in this year’s virtual IChO. Ouyang was placed 6th, earning him a gold medal, while Liu, Wu, and Tzafriri were placed 37th, 60th, and 94th, respectively, earning silver medals.

“We’re really proud of our team. They worked really hard. It was a tough exam and they came out with good results,” says the US team’s head mentor, Joseph Houck, an associate teaching professor at Penn State University.

The US team took the 5-hour theoretical exam, in front of a supervisor, at the American Chemical Society offices in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, July 13. The topics covered in the questions included rapid COVID-19 detection techniques, carbon dioxide capture and transformation, and lithium-sulfur batteries.

“A lot of the exam was focused on real-world problems, which I think made the test interesting,” says Liu. “I was a big fan of the kinetics-based question about catalysts that are used in cars to convert nitric oxides into less environmentally-harmful gases. I’m generally a big fan of physical chemistry,” adds Wu.

Organizers of IChO provided a chat room through which all participating teams could interact. The same online platform was used to host online chemistry lectures and virtual field trips to sites local to Tianjin such as Nankai University.

“For the virtual events, we had an online platform called ChemZone where you could meet other IChO participants. It was pretty fun,” says Ouyang.

The US team also visited sightseeing destinations around Washington, DC, including George Washington’s Mount Vernon, the National Air and Space Museum, and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

“The highlight of the week was spending time with my team from the US,” says Tzafriri. “For both the camp and the international olympiad, the majority of our time is not spent on doing tests; it is spent on growing better connections to others.”

In addition to Houck, mentors for the US team included Esther Hines of Billerica Memorial High School in Massachusetts and Laura Serbulea of the University of Virginia.

Liu and Tzafriri will both start college in the fall at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, respectively. Ouyang will be a high school junior and Wu a high school senior.
