Today (Sunday) the results of the International Mathematics Olympiad were announced in St. Petersburg, Russia. All six Israeli students who participated won medals:
- Shahar Friedman - gold medal
- Ronal Laker - silver medal
- Shabo Regev - silver medal
- Moshe Sinclair - bronze medal
- Yuval Ilani - bronze medal
- Almog Wald - bronze medal
The Israeli team finished the Olympics in 21st place overall.
The team was led by Dan Carmon and the head coach is Lev Radzivilovsky who in recent years coached the Israeli team for the Mathematics Olympiad for students, which he also led to impressive achievements, including the world championship when all the participants won gold medals. This year, due to the corona virus, the Youth Mathematics Olympiad was postponed from July to September and took place in the digital space.

Just a slight correction, Meir Shalev congratulated the winners of the Computer Science Olympiad, not mathematics.
Danny, according to Meir Shalev, was not blessed by politicians, because they competed on Rosh Hashanah.
Danny, his Meir blessed them in his weekly column, not before throwing up his regular dose of Binyamin Netanyahu.
Well done!!!
To Danny, several years ago when my child was one of the participants and the Minister of Education was Naftali Bennett, at the end of the year the Minister of Education gathered all the children from all the Olympics and thanked them.
It may happen this year as well with the current Minister of Education.
You are right that the topic should be more publicized.
Very nice!
Well done. An impressive achievement.
I also wondered how so many medals yielded only 21st place.
So I entered the competition website, and although I couldn't find the regulations, it seems that ("it's easy to see that"...) unlike the "regular" Olympics, medals do not mean 1 of the first 3 places.
There are about 50 gold medals, about 100 silver medals, about 150 bronze medals, and about 150 silver medals. And in total about 600 participants in the competition. Meaning, about 3/4 of the participants win some kind of medal/salsah.
What determines the ranking of the countries is the exercise scores of the participants. You can see the table here:

All the best to the medal recipients and coaches!!!
Well done, amazing kids!!
How do you place 21 if they all won medals?
Did the Prime Minister bless them?
Did the Minister of Education call them?
Has anyone from this inflated and vacuumed government blessed them?
Don't they deserve a better PR picture?
Well done!!
