Many teams were extremely relieved. Although they did not solve the problem correctly, they did not use the wrong lemma, which would result in the cancellation of the team's score. This was already a big gain, so they did not need to worry about competing with the Chinese team.
This year, the Chinese team has Wu Tong, and no one can compare!
Haven’t you seen some teams have a mental breakdown and suffer a direct Waterloo? Those who live nearby, have all heard the roar of the team leader over there!
On July 14, the closing ceremony and award ceremony arrived as scheduled. It was an exciting moment for all the contestants.
With everyone present and time up, the closing ceremony officially began. After the judging panel delivered their speeches, the most exciting yet nerve-wracking part of the ceremony, the awards ceremony, began.
The awards were presented from the back to the front. As the names of the names were announced one by one, people went on stage to receive honorary awards, bronze medals, silver medals, and finally it was time for the much anticipated gold medal ceremony.
This time, the Chinese team came on stage together and won the gold medal that represented their ultimate honor. The host arranged for guests to present the gold medals and certificates to the winners.
The first person to receive the award was naturally Wu Tong, who ranked first in the world.
"Congratulations, Wu Tong. I know you and hope you'll reach even greater heights. This is just the beginning of your journey to receive this award!" The award presenter addressed Wu Tong by name in awkward Chinese, offering his blessing. "I look forward to seeing you visit our university for a visiting scholar program in the future."

After the gold medals were awarded and everyone took a group photo, the six Chinese people were about to leave when they were asked to stay by the judging panel.
The host didn't argue, but simply announced with a beaming smile, "Let us once again congratulate the Chinese team for winning first place and the championship at the 51st International Mathematical Olympiad with a total score of 213! We would also like to invite their two team leaders to join them on stage to share this moment of honor!"
Although I learned the news in advance, the excitement of the actual award announcement was completely different from the feeling when the scores were calculated.
yeah···
All six members of the Chinese team had excited smiles on their faces, and they all waved to Li Yisheng and Professor Cheng.
Li Yisheng and Professor Cheng excitedly went on stage together, one carrying the flag of the Chinese team and the other holding a folded bright red flag. A team of people worked together to pull out the flag in front of them and straighten it, capturing this glorious moment.
The brightly colored flags fluttered, dazzling and shining, echoing with the outstanding young people of the Chinese team, as if the team was proud of them.
Cameras flashed and clicks were heard as media from all over the world flocked in. Facing the envious or jealous eyes of all the teams present, they smiled even more brightly in the direction of their motherland's media, and honor rose in their hearts.
They did it, letting the bright flag fly on the international stage. They did it, once again keeping the Chinese team in first place and the championship honor, and all six of them won gold medals!
They have lived up to the country's trust and everyone's expectations, and have brought glory to the country! Nothing could make us stand taller and more proud than this moment!
After the Chinese team won the championship, the runner-up was the Russian team, and the third place was the M country team. All awards were presented one by one.
The Chinese team was beaming with joy, their faces overflowing with smiles, their excitement palpable throughout the stadium. This certainly came as no surprise to the other teams; if they were in their shoes, they'd be just as happy!
The Chinese team has taken the world's first place for three consecutive years. From now on, the IMO should just be called the Chinese Competition. The Chinese team has no shame. They even sent the conjecture prover to attack their high school students...
Of course, no matter how angry those who are angry are, it cannot stop the Chinese team from being really happy today.
Logically, the award ceremony should have come to an end at this point. However, when many people had already started preparing to leave, the chairman of the organizing committee came on stage again and made an announcement with a smile.
"At every IMO, we always select the most perfect, innovative, and impeccable answers from among the many responses. This year, we are amazed by her exquisite solutions. She has made mathematics young and charming. Therefore, we will give her the glory she deserves and present her with the IMO Special Award. Please welcome Wu Tong, the Oriental Pearl of China, to the stage again to receive the award!"
IMO Special Award? Is there any special award this year?
This is not common. Before the 1990s, special awards were not uncommon. However, today, as mathematics becomes increasingly clear and the scope of competitions becomes more and more thorough, this award is not easy to obtain.
It is rare to see such an event happen once every ten years, but this year, China has once again won this unique honor.
If they said they weren't jealous, I'm afraid every team present would deny it. Everyone looked at each other, knowing full well. Of course, many were also delighted by this honor. Isn't that the essence of the IMO? Those who truly love mathematics are always happy for its progress and new discoveries!
"Wu Tong, come on stage quickly. IMO Special Award. Hahaha, I knew you could do it!" Li Yishen and others smiled and hugged Wu Tong, letting her go on stage to receive the award. Perhaps this special honor belonged to her alone.
With Wu Tong receiving the special award, the IMO award ceremony really came to an end. After another thank-you speech, the IMO officially came to an end.
The good news of the Chinese team winning six gold medals at the IMO was immediately relayed back to China, with major media outlets sharing the news: "Great news, great news! All members won gold medals! The Chinese team won the 51st IMO with a perfect victory!"
[Three consecutive championships, International Mathematical Olympiad, the Chinese team won six gold medals! ]
[Shocking! Oriental Pearl Tower once again achieved perfect scores and was ranked first in the world. The IMO organizing committee awarded it a special award!]
The news immediately ignited the entire Internet, and everyone was delighted by the news. Many netizens were so proud that they celebrated it as if it were the New Year.
[Other high schools win international gold medals, but my high school admires the big guys and cheers for them!]
[Prove the world's most difficult problem, get the perfect score on the college entrance examination, get the perfect score on the IMO world championship... My mom asked me why I was kneeling, and my legs were weak for the boss!]

In the evening, the IMO Organizing Committee and the host country held a final farewell dinner in the form of a buffet with a variety of special delicacies. Considering that most of the guests were students and that many countries have regulations prohibiting drinking alcohol under a certain age, the drinks at the dinner were mainly fruit juice drinks.
Students from various national teams saw many members of the organizing committee looking for Wu Tong to talk, which made them realize once again that Wu Tong was different from them.
While they were still naive students, Wu Tong was already being pursued and internationally renowned, and could be called an internationally renowned scholar.
Wu Tong politely responded to the interactions with people of different enthusiasms, and found time to pick out something delicious to fill his stomach. Compared to those noisy interactions, Wu Tong was actually more accustomed to thinking quietly.
