Super good news! Just now, the results of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 2023 are newly released:

The Chinese team won the gold medal again, winning the first place in the group for five years in a row.

The United States beat the second place by nearly 20 points.

In addition, two other players from the Chinese team won full marks, compared with a total of five winners this year.

The six contestants of the Chinese team are:

Jiang Zhicheng, Shenzhen Middle School

Liang Xingjian, Middle School affiliated to Hunan normal University

Shi Haojia, Hailiang Senior Middle School, Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province

Sun Qiao, Shanghai Middle School

Wang Chunji, Shanghai Middle School

Zhang Xinliang, Zhenhai Middle School, Ningbo

Now, the Chinese team has won the first place 24 times in the tournament.

Six players of the Chinese team

One of the two full-mark contestants, from Hailiang Senior Middle School in Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province, is called Shi Haojia, the most "outstanding" in history by the school.

He is called this because, in the trials, he is the first senior high school student in Zhejiang Province to be selected for the IMO Chinese national team.

In the fifth grade, Shi Haojia's talent in mathematics was discovered by the coach and began to formally study competition courses.

Head coach Zhao Bin once said publicly:

Shi Haojia has a pure love for maths. He often misses the dining room because he is immersed in thinking about a math problem and discusses it with his coach downstairs of the dormitory until 11:00 at night.

Another full-mark winner for the Chinese team is Wang Chunji, who was selected in the first place in the trials.

Wang Chunji is from Shanghai Middle School.

Wang Chunji's parents have said that Wang Chunji's road to Mathematical Olympiad can be said to be accidental.

In an exchange, his parents accidentally learned that there were many children in the class learning Mathematical Olympiad, so they also signed up for extracurricular classes for Wang Chunji.

And Wang Chunji's secret book of learning is also inseparable from two words-interest.

It is worth noting that in addition to Wang Chunji, there is another person on the IMO Chinese team from Shanghai Shanghai Middle School, that is Sun Qiao, a sophomore in senior high school.

Sun Qiao's road to Mathematical Olympiad started very early.

In the third grade, he was selected into the school's Mathematical Olympiad interest club without studying through the relevant system.

Sun Qiao, who was in the first year of senior high school, performed well in the national math competition in December 2021, finishing 10th in the selection of the national team and as a substitute for the IMO national team in 2022.

When it comes to Shanghai Middle School, it is known as "the first strong school in mathematics competition".

Last year, IMO also had two contestants from Shanghai Middle School, and both got full marks!

Some netizens said:

Jiang Zhicheng, a sophomore from Shenzhen Middle School, was also selected for the national team after eight days of training and examination.

He is also the only player in Guangdong who has been selected for the national team.

In addition, Zhang Xinliang, a senior from Zhenhai Middle School in Ningbo, is said to be familiar with many parents in Ningbo.

In this competition, his score was only one point short of the full score.

In the math competition, Zhang Xinliang also experienced a tortuous mental journey:

The second year of senior high school won the gold medal in the National Mathematical Olympiad for middle school students, but it was a pity that he did not join the national training team.

In his last year of high school, although he faced the college entrance examination, in order not to leave any regrets, he decided to sprint.

In January this year, when the final results were announced, Zhang Xinliang got what he wanted and joined the national training team with a full score.

Liang Xingjian is a senior in the middle school affiliated to Hunan normal University.

It is also the only player who has entered the national team in this year's five major disciplines competition in Hunan Province.

According to Liang Xingjian's head coach, Liang Xingxing has a strong interest in mathematics. He has taught himself high school math in junior high school and followed senior high school students in the second semester of junior high school.

At first, he didn't get used to it, and the problem gave him a strong sense of frustration, but he quickly adjusted from his collapse and gnawed down one problem after another, and his psychology became more and more stable until he came to this day step by step.

The title of this year's competition must be of interest to all of you. This is for all of you:

What do you think of the difficulty?

In addition, the competition is held in Japan. And the 67th competition, that is, 2026, will be held in Shanghai, we will wait and see!
