Russian schoolchildren returned home with a victory!
Four boys brought home gold medals from the 3rd Abu Rayhan Biruni International Chemistry Olympiad, held in Nokos, Uzbekistan. The winners were met at the Moscow airport by their relatives and teachers.
"I have the best students. This is my first big win at the international level. Proud of my students. I always told them that they are the best children in Russia and not only in Russia, as it turns out now," shared the teacher.
One of the gold medal winners, Ibergim Sheikhotdinov, admitted that the award was the result of several months of hard work.
"It was very nice to find out that I was one of the best in the Olympics and to realize that several months of work were not in vain," he said.
The gold was won by Ivan Ovechinikov from Novosibirsk, Ibergim Sheikhotdinov from Kazan, as well as Mikhail Inuztsem and Vladislav Kolmkov from Moscow.
