In the individual contest, Vietnamese students won four gold and five silver medals, and one consolation prize. Meanwhile, in the team contest, Vietnam grabbed two champion cups, one first and two second prizes.
According to Ha Vu Anh, head of Hanoi-Amsterdam School’s Information and Mathematics Group and head of the Vietnamese delegation to attend IMC 2019, Vietnamese students are among few contestants who did the exam directly in English without an interpreter.
Winning an individual gold medal, Do Hoang Quoc Bao, a 9th-grade student in Hanoi-Amsterdam school said that this year's exam required the candidates to maximize their creativity and ability to analyze.
Besides the contest, members of the Vietnamese team participated in various cultural activities on August 4 to disseminate Vietnamese people’s talent and wisdom.
