SA team shines with record-breaking performance
Saturday Star
|July 26, 2025
THE South African Mathematics Foundation (SAMF) is celebrating a historic achievement as the national team secured its best ranking in 25 years at the recent International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) held in Australia from 10 to 20 July.
Competing against high school students from over 100 countries, the South African contingent finished in an impressive 38th place, showcasing the exceptional talent and dedication of its young mathematicians.
Every year, the IMO presents a formidable challenge, testing the mathematical prowess of students through complex problems over two intense days.
Each participant tackles three problems for 4½ hours each day, demonstrating not only individual expertise but also the ability to perform under pressure.
This year, South African students faced tough competition from powerhouse teams, including those from the People’s Republic of China, the United States, and the Republic of Korea, yet they rose to the occasion with remarkable skill.
