The team shared second place in the unofficial ranking with students from the US
Russian high schoolers have won five gold medals and one silver at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The team, represented by six students from various Russian regions, ranked second after China in the unofficial standings, sharing the spot with the US.
Held annually since 1959, the IMO is considered the most challenging math competition for high school students, requiring creativity and rigorous logical reasoning.
Gold medals were awarded to Dmitry Grishko from Moscow, Ivan Chasovskikh from Khimki (a northwestern suburb of the capital), Ilya Zamotorin from Saint Petersburg, Vasily Patrushev from Vladivostok, and Artyom Sadykov from Chelyabinsk, each scoring between 35 and 42 points. A silver medal was awarded to Ivan Kokarev, also from Chelyabinsk.
For the Russian national team, the competition was held remotely at a venue provided by Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov congratulated the winners.
Chernyshenko emphasized that the students had continued Russia’s rich mathematical traditions, noting the country’s legacy of producing many renowned figures in the field. Kravtsov added that the students’ success highlights the high quality of Russia’s education system and the strength of its mathematics.
The officials also thanked the educators who contributed to the students’ preparation. The Russian team was led by Kirill Sukhov, head of the resource center for supplementary education at the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum 239 in Saint Petersburg.
The IMO is ranked among the seven most prestigious subject-specific competitions in the world, collectively known as the International Science Olympiads. This year’s contest, hosted by Australia, attracted 641 participants from 112 countries. The Chinese team dominated the competition, winning all six gold medals and placing first in the overall team ranking.
