SHANGHAI — Armenia’s national team earned one silver medal, four bronze medals and one honourable mention at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad, held in Shanghai, China.

The prestigious competition brought together 666 students from 120 countries, with national delegations consisting of up to six contestants. Participants completed two rounds of challenging theoretical problems.

Hayk Manukyan, a Grade 10 student at Quantum College, delivered Armenia’s strongest performance, winning a silver medal.
