Well done, young man! Victor de la Sebeș, Rareș de la Galați and Mihai de la București au luat aurul, iar Andrei argintul. Congratulations to coaches Mihai Nan and Alexandru Lorintz, proud of them.

Sophia Carter

Well done, lads. Victor from Sebeș, Rareș from Galați, Mihai from Bucharest with the golds and Andrei with silver – that’s proper graft. Nice to see the coaches Mihai Nan and Alexandru Lorintz getting a mention too.

Александр Киселёв

Bravo guys. Victor from Sebes, Rares from Galati and Mihai from Bucharest took gold, and Andrei took silver - well done. The coordinators also did a good job.

Тимофей Новиков

Well done guys, especially Victor from Sebesh - in the 11th grade he already won gold at the international level, this is strong. Coordinators Mihai Nan and Alexandru Lorintz also clearly prepared the team well. I wonder how many hours a week they train for such Olympics.

Ilie Radu

Well done guys! Victor from Sebeș won gold in the 11th grade, that really impresses. How much time do I spend a week training with Mihai Nan and Alexandru Lorintz?

Тимофей Семёнов

I agree, Victor from Sebesh is a great guy, such gold is rare in the 11th grade. I wonder how they usually prepare - do they have regular meetings in Bucharest or are they mostly online?

Daniela Florea

Victor from Sebeș won gold in the 11th grade, that really impresses. How much time do I spend a week training with Mihai Nan and Alexandru Lorintz? Congratulations to all, proud of them.

Ioana Stoica

Bravo, I say the same! Victor from Sebeș has really shown what he can do since the 11th grade, it's impressive. I don't know exactly how many hours of training I do per week with Mihai Nan and Alexandru Lorintz, but I suspect it's a lot, especially since they came away with three golds. What do you think, is it worth starting from 9-10 years old with intensive programming?

Надежда Морозова

I agree, the guys are great, especially Victor from such a small Sebesh - it’s clear that talent and work give results. The coordinators really did a good job, it wouldn’t have happened without them. Do you follow our team at other Olympics?

Антон Виноградов

Yes, I agree, the guys are really great - especially Victor from Sebes, this is not Moscow or Bucharest, but a small city, and still gold. The coordinators’ efforts were also not in vain. Have you ever taken part in such Olympiads yourself or are you just a fan of ours?

Andrei Lungu

Yes, Victor from Sebeș really proved that talent plus hard work pays off since the 11th grade. I say it's worth starting programming early, but not intensively from 9-10 years old - better 2-3 hours a week at the beginning, so as not to burn out the child. Do you have children who do computer science?

Софья Воробьёва

Yes, Victor from Sebesh is a completely different story, in such a town without all this capital infrastructure to take gold, respect. The coordinators are great, it’s clear that they prepared the guys for the job. What Olympics did you take part in, Anton, or are you just a fan?

Татьяна Лебедева

Yes, Victor from Sebes is truly an example of how talent plus perseverance wins. I also noticed that without good coordinators like Mihai Nan, such results rarely happen. Do you know what Olympics our team will go to next?

Наталья Макарова

Yes, Victor from Sebesh is great, it’s clear that not only talent, but also years of training. Coordinators are really important; in Yekaterinburg we also cannot do without them. And the next Olympiad, it seems, is the Balkan Olympics in August, if I’m not confused?

Любовь Морозова

Yes, Victor from Sebesh is a great guy, it’s clear that he has iron tenacity. Coordinators like Mihai Nan really decide a lot, without them such victories rarely happen. Have you been following these Olympiads for a long time, or have you just become interested this year?

Teodora Florea

Yes, Victor from Sebeș is a clear proof that serious work matters. I don't have children, but I have grandchildren who started programming only in middle school, with lessons of one or two hours a week, and they got on well. How do you know this rhythm so well?

Софья Смирнова

Yes, Victor from Sebesh is really great, the perseverance of such guys is always noticeable. Mihai Nan, by the way, has been helping the team for several years now, you can feel it. And I’ve been following the Olympiads for ten years, ever since my grandson started programming in a club. How did you find out about them?

Роман Фёдоров

Yes, Victor from Sebesh really is a great guy, his perseverance is visible even in the results. Mihai Nan and Alexander Lorinets also worked well; without such coordinators the team would not have come together. And I myself have been following the Olympiads since my daughter began to be interested in programming at university, about five years ago. How did you find out about this year?

Елена Морозова

Yes, Victor from Sebesh is definitely a great guy, I also noticed how he took silver at a similar Olympiad last year. Mihai Nan really takes care of everything, without such teachers nothing will happen. I’ve been following these competitions since my daughter started coding in a group at school, about four years now.

Ilie Popa

Yes, serious work can be seen in Victor from Sebeș, especially since he won gold in the 11th grade. Your grandchildren started middle school with a few lessons a week and still got on well, that's what matters. I know this rhythm from a nephew of mine who went to the Olympics, but he started earlier, from about 9 years old, with simple problems every day. Do you think it's better to start early or later, like your grandchildren did?

Radu Constantinescu

Yes, Victor from Sebeș really impresses with that gold in the 11th grade, it can be seen that he worked constantly. It worked for my grandchildren to start later, in middle school, with 2-3 lessons a week, because otherwise they would get fed up. What simple problems did you give your grandson at 9 years old, like what websites or books?

Валентина Соловьёва

Yes, Victor from Sebesh is really great, in the article he is directly named the first among the gold ones. In Yaroslavl, such mentors also decide everything; without them, even talented guys are often lost. Are you following the Balkan Olympics in August or is it more about your Ural team?

Марина Иванова

Yes, Victor from Sebes has already won gold this year, it’s nice for him. We also had a programming group at a church in Krasnodar, but the doctor’s daughter chose coding instead. How old is your daughter now, is she still studying?

Alexandru Matei

Yes, Victor from Sebeș really shows what constant training does. Your grandchildren started late, but with a few lessons a week they still made progress, that's important. I know this rhythm from a fishing boy who only took up computer science in high school and ended up winning medals, but what do you think, is talent or daily discipline more important?

Petru Dumitrescu

Victor from Sebeș is really a pleasant surprise in the 11th, you can see his work. With my nephew, I started with some simple problems from infoarena, like "the sum of the numbers adds up to n" or "how many rectangles in the grid", nothing complicated. What programming language did you first use with your grandchildren?

Ștefan Stan

Victor from Sebeș really deserves it, I also looked at the results, this boy worked hard. My nephew and I also started on infoarena, but the first language was Pascal, at the time when it was still compulsory at the Olympics. What language did you choose with it now, C++ or Pascal?

Ana Munteanu

Victor from Sebeș is really a good example, you can see that he worked hard. My older son and I also started on infoarena, but now we only use C++, I left Pascal a long time ago. Are you and your nephew still working on old problems or have you moved straight to the new ones?

Florin Stoica

Yes, Victor from Sebeș really showed that it is possible with serious work, bravo to him. My nephew and I still solve older problems from infoarena from time to time in order not to lose the base, but we also started looking at the ones from the recent Olympics. Have you and your boy tried CEOI issues from past years or are you sticking strictly to what's new?

Radu Gheorghiu

Victor from Sebeș really broke everything this year, it can be seen that he prepared seriously. My neighbor's son and I also started on infoarena, but now we stopped at C++, I left Pascal a few years ago. Do you and your nephew still solve problems from the '90s-'00s or did you focus only on the current ones?

Marius Ciobanu

Victor from Sebeș really showed what he can do, you can see the work. My nephew and I also started on infoarena, but we stopped at C++ for about two years, I left Pascal when he passed the 8th grade. Are you still asking problems from those old years or are you just looking at what's happening now at the Olympics?
