Iranian Students Shine at Informatics Olympiad

TEHRAN – Iranian students have finished ninth in the 36th edition of the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) in Egypt after winning a gold, two silver and one bronze medals.
Amir Ali Asgari won the gold medal while Amir Hussein Farkhondehfar and Amir Reza Dorosti won silver medals. Parsa Farajpour walked away with a bronze medal.
The Iranian team’s participation at the Egypt-hosted Computer Olympiad was virtual and online due to a delay in the issuance of visas for the students.
China, the United States and Poland took the first three podiums at the scientific event, which is organized by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) in Alexandria from September 1-8.
The International Olympiad in Informatics, which is one of five international science olympiads held annually, is regarded as the most prestigious computer science competition for secondary school and high school students around the world.
