When I got my results, and found out I got a gold medal, it was something unexpected for me. Anyway, I was extremely happy that my hard work had become into something worth it. I expereinced many new things in this trip, and I hope many other people can expereince this as well. This trip is helpful in many ways, such as math skills, meeting new people, organizing yourself, etc. I hope I can have another chance to participate in these kind of competitions.” shared Sanghoon Yi about his experience on the Olympiad.
