In addition, Ukraine became the second in the team standings for the first time. It should be clarified that the result in the team standings consists of the sum of the three best results among the four participants whom the team leaders chose before the competition. Since our team was formed according to the results of the selections for the IMO, which took place in the fall, we chose exactly those four participants who showed the best result then.
Active communication with other teams and their managers, with organizers, experience in protecting the work of participants who acquire team leaders at this level at this level is no less important part of the overall team experience than the ability to solve problems by participants.
Once again, we sincerely thank our benefactors, as well as all concerned citizens who supported our team. Thanks to such solid support (as well as good preparation), high results of our participants became possible.
