The results of the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Australia were announced. The Chinese team once again won the championship with the first place in the team total score, and all six team members won gold medals.Last year, China narrowly lost to the United States, and after a year of silence, these players regained the number one spot in the world. Of course, the U.S. team was also very strong, but lost to the Chinese team by a narrow margin.
Followed closely by the South Korean team, the overall player strength is second only to China and the United States, while the Japanese team is even worse.
Regarding China's return to the number one ranking in the world, many foreign players said that this was a reflection of their strength and that they had tried their best and were indeed too strong.
The International Mathematical Olympiad is a top mathematics competition for high school students around the world. It was first held in Romania in 1959. The 67th IMO will be held in Shanghai, China in 2026.
It is reported that the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad will be held in Shanghai Middle School in July next year.
In 2024, Shangzhong Middle School won the right to host the 2026 International Mathematical Olympiad, and became the first middle school in the world to host the International Mathematical Olympiad.
