The team's coaches are a team of Olympians and mathematicians led by Lev Radzivilovski. This year the responsibility for training the Israeli national team was transferred from Tel Aviv University to the Weizmann Institute.
The Ministry of Education and the Center for Future Scientists of the Maimonides Foundation lead the training of Israel's national teams to participate in the International Science Olympiads as part of a joint venture.
The International Mathematical Olympiad IMO Held this year for the 62nd time (founded in 1959), Israel has been participating in the Olympics since 1979. This year, 619 participants from 107 countries took part in the Olympics. The Olympiad took place over two examination days. On each of the days the students were required to solve for 4.5 hours a test that consisted of 3 questions of a very high level of difficulty in the fields of elementary mathematics: algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory.
The student team that participated in the Math Olympiad was trained at the Weizmann Institute of Science led by the academic director, Prof. Avraham Izenbod, the head coach, Lev Radzivilovski, the head of the delegation, Dan Carmon and the team of coaches - Daniel Kenner, Sasha Tolsnikov and Guy Capon.
Minister of Education, Dr. Yifat Shasha Biton: The Minister of Education, Dr. Yifat Shasha Biton: Israeli students seal an unprecedented achievement in the international Olympics and create for the State of Israel a horizon of good news and growth. The education system is a flint from the quarry of the human capital that makes up the parts of Israeli society and is the steam engine that creates the movement of its economy, science and technology. Therefore, we will strive to light the spark for our students to love science, to create for them learning processes that are intriguing and relevant to their lives. We will work to cultivate academic skills that will enable them to deal with global and complex issues in the future.
I personally congratulate each and every one of the winning students and express my pride for their impressive achievements. I also congratulate the coaches who accompanied them and worked with them night and day to succeed and reach this unprecedented achievement.
CEO of the Future Scientists Center, Eli Fried: "Israel's science teams continue to demonstrate high abilities in front of teams around the world and reach impressive and proud achievements. The achievements in the Olympics are the result of determination, investment, perseverance and effort in addition to the tremendous talent the students have been blessed with.
We are full of appreciation for these students and are convinced that they will be a significant part of shaping the future of the State of Israel and will make their mark in the various areas of life.
We will continue to work in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the academic institutions to lead the most advanced training and to provide the highest quality tools to Israeli students."
The president of the Weizmann Institute, Prof. Alon Chen, greeted the members of the delegation and said: "The Weizmann Institute of Science attaches great importance to the promotion of scientific education and works to promote the field of science and mathematics education in general, and to influence science and mathematics education in Israel. We are proud to run the program of the Israeli team in mathematics from the Weizmann Institute, and to support the training of the Israeli delegation to the International Mathematical Olympiad, which reached an unprecedented achievement in this year's competition, after a challenging competition. The investment and commitment of the team members are inspiring, and their pursuit of excellence is another step in training the future of scientists in Israel."
The Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, Orit Parkash HaCohen wrote in a tweet on Twitter: "This is what the future generation of the startup country looks like! At the same time as the sports olympiad, the math olympiad takes place, which excites me just as much. The Israeli and young competitors won 6 medals and brought us great pride. Ambition, perseverance and excellence are qualities found in our high-tech people, I have no doubt that I will see you there in the future."

There is not a single medical student in this "Israeli math team" so cold. disgrace
Why didn't you publish a top 10 that would appear in relation to which countries we have won this significant achievement.
As a teacher in Israel, you made me happy, kudos to you! Hope children like you will be in the news headlines, to encourage the other students to learn for fun and develop thinking outside the box!
Well done. very impressive. From one medal in the sports Olympics, the president calls to congratulate. But math medals, nada.
As good as anyone, petty politicians.
Thinking is not their forte.
Go forth and succeed! The achievements are most impressive.
Already posting. The problem is that in Israel there are smart children and stupid adults.
The names do not match the picture
The Physics Olympiad also ended with good achievements
Where is Prime Minister Pinocchio's reaction to the long exile?
It is clear to you that it is thanks to the Minister of Education Peka Peka

It's a shame that no one is commenting on winning the medals in the Math Olympiad, and even more shame that none of the people's representatives are commenting. This youth is the brain of the country and is just as important, and even more than our powerful ones in the Tokyo Olympics.
Shame on you all
exciting! Go forth and succeed! proud of you :)
Well done. Real pride
Much more important than what is being read now in Tokyo
Kudos to the team, the coaches and the Weizmann Institute! You made us happy with your achievement. Let's hope that in the next competition we will see more girls.
