The teenager they watched after chasing Su Xingchen suddenly yelled in their national language: "They must be Chinese. Only Chinese people have such a high enthusiasm for mathematics. I heard that Chinese people are very good at math!"
"Yes, they must have come to see the IMO, and they are all chasing to watch the IMO competition. It's amazing!"
"In my hometown, they only watch football!"
"basketball!"
"And tennis!"
"football!"
"Only for these can they have such a high enthusiasm!"
No one in their country watched the IMO game.
If it were not for the press conference, after the annual IMO competition, no one would even know that they participated in the IMO. The IMO competition always came quietly and walked quietly, like Hua Guo, like a Champions League final. It's hard to think of a situation like a grand event.
Even if their country took the first place in the team competition last year, only these math lovers, a very small number of people who follow IMO, know that they will not be cheered by the whole school and become their idols like football and basketball.
This time there are more than 100 countries and regions to participate in the IMO. There are also contestants from other countries who have the same idea as this boy. Seeing so many fans with yellow skin and black hair come to see the IMO, they can’t help but be amazed, "No wonder Hua The Chinese people have learned so well, and their enthusiasm for mathematics is amazing!"
They are all participating in IMO competitions for the first time. They have never seen what the previous IMO was like. In addition, the host country is different each time, and there is no comparison. They only think that the mathematics atmosphere of China is for teenagers and girls who love mathematics. It is a paradise for math lovers!
Standing in front of the glass windows of the hotel, looking at the fans lingering downstairs, players from many countries expressed similar sighs.
Players from other countries found it strange, looking at the fans in the crowd holding lights and banners: "Why are they holding photos? They look like star fans."
"The IMO game may be like the Champions League final to the Chinese people. Those who come to participate in the IMO are probably like football stars participating in the Champions League final." The youth who said this were full of envy and yearning. .
In their school, those who are popular are always those with well-developed limbs and shine on the court. People like him who like to use their brains are not popular in the school.
Looking at so many fans holding light boards and posters and banners below, they not only exclaimed: "With so many fans, the IMO contestants are probably the same as Ronaldo in their hearts!"
"C Ronaldo!" The teenager who spoke before was even more envious. He wanted to be admired and loved like Ronaldo.
"So what?" On the solo sofa, a fair-haired and fair-skinned young man raised his head from the book with a cold expression: "Hua Guo has won third place for three consecutive years."
"Three consecutive years." He emphasized.
"But they are still our rivals, Alex." The brown-haired girl by the French window reminded him."A total of fifty-nine IMO, they won the first 13 times."
They all know this information very well, and they were the first American team in IMO last year.
The blond boy curled his lips, continued to lower his head to read, and stopped talking. After a while, he also came to the French window and looked at the crowd below.
After a while, his fingers quickly tapped on the computer keyboard. Soon, he found out the information of the girl in the photo. He turned the computer around to face the brown-haired girl who was talking before and said: "That's just a star in their country. In this hotel, idiot."
They don’t know much about Chinese celebrities, and they only know Cheng Long. As for female celebrities, most Asian female celebrities have a look in their eyes. They may be particularly popular, but they are definitely Not Su Xingchen.
Su Xingchen's traffic is currently only in China.
The brown-haired girl didn't know Su Xingchen either, she came over and read the information on the blond boy's computer to find out that she was really a star.
But she was a little unconvinced, so she searched more on the Internet and found: "Huh? She is indeed a star, but she is also a player from China to participate in IMO this time."
The blonde boy dropped his long light-colored eyelashes disdainfully and looked at her: "A star?"
"Yes! A star came to participate in IMO!" The brown-haired girl exclaimed, "It's so cool!"
"It's really cool." The teenager standing by came over and saw the information on the computer whistling: "So we don't have to worry about China?" He said in a relaxed tone.
"Don't underestimate the enemy." The brown-haired girl folded her arms and frowned: "That's China!"
The whistling boy shrugged, obviously not taking her words to heart.
For them, Russia, Russia, China, Eagles, etc. are all traditional strong teams, but China is obviously weak in succession in recent years.
In fact, after the Chinese national team, who was being discussed by the players of these countries, arrived at the hotel, they were a little confused when they saw the killing of Matt and his party headed by Cheng Kangyao also appeared in the hotel.
The appearance of the Killing Matt Army and Cheng Kangyao made them realize in despair that a few months after the training, Su Xingchen not only ran back to take the college entrance examination, but she also had a relationship.
Don't ask how they knew about it, netizens all over the country knew about it, and the photos they held in hand were posted!
They looked at Su Xingchen, and then at Cheng Kangyao... I only hope that Su Xingchen is a reliable person.
Just substituting yourself, on the premise of preparing for the college entrance examination and getting a provincial champion, do you really have the time and energy to prepare for the IMO competition?
I can't think about this problem, the more I think about it, the more desperate I get.
The team leader and observer teachers also felt headaches.
The observer teacher also smiled bitterly with the two leader teachers in private: "Don't say first this time. If you can stay third, you will complete the task."
In fact, the team leader of each session took the contestants out, bearing the hope of the people of the country to get the first place.
In the minds of many Chinese, if you don't take the first exam or win the championship, you will fail or lose.
The deputy team leader who taught her for 20 days smiled and said, "It's too early to say this!"
Professor Yu Qiutong had also taught Su Xingchen in the training team before, but after a few months, he doesn’t know how Su Xingchen is anymore. He said to the deputy team leader of the professor from the Department of Mathematics of Z University: "After choosing the topic, I I can’t contact you anymore. I’ll leave them to you. Regarding Su Xingchen, don’t relax in the past few days. If you can teach something, she still has some understanding."
Neither observer had taught Su Xingchen, and it was a bit surprised to hear the two professors say this.
Because there are only ten days left before the game.
The team leader of China this time is Professor Yu Qiutong. After arriving at the venue, the team leader will participate in the topic selection. In order to prevent cheating, contact with all deputy team leaders, observers, and participating members, including phone calls, is prohibited during the topic selection process. The daily itinerary is arranged by the deputy leader and observers.
The deputy team leader is the professor of Z University who taught Chu Yunzhi and Su Xingchen during the summer vacation. Two observers, one from China Normal University and one from Haishi Middle School are super teachers.
Said to be the lead observer, in fact, like the teacher in the training team, they are also their instructors along the way.
The deputy team leader is still in charge of Su Xingchen, and the other two observer teachers are in charge of the other members.
Nearly two weeks before and after IMO, it is said that it is a game, but in fact it is more like a gathering between international players.
It has only two days of official competition. At other times, it arranges the tourist attractions, or plays ball, chess, Sudoku and other intellectual games with players from other countries, and has friendly exchanges.
In fact, in the process of such friendly exchanges, the contest between each other has already begun.
In this process, the two observer teachers are like their guardians, responsible for all issues such as their safety and life.
Intellectual games such as Sudoku and chess are the best way for them to compete in the first place.
Alex of the US team is one of those who are good at brain games.
This is the second time he has participated in the IMO competition. They were both champions last year and the year before, and he has been a two-time perfect score gold medalist.
As one of the IMO powers, the Hua Guo team is also one of the countries where they need to conduct "friendly exchanges" in advance, but he did not see that star.
Perhaps, she is still being taught privately by the Chinese national team teacher?
Not only did he guess it, but many other countries paying attention to the Chinese team also guessed it.
He really guessed right, Su Xingchen was really being held in the room for training by the deputy leader alone.
Yes, training camp.
After the training team is over, other members have related relationships and continue to find professors to teach them. For example, Chu Yunzhi, who was still preparing for IMO in those few months.
Where is Su Xingchen?She ran to the college entrance examination.
Even if she achieved very good results in the college entrance examination, it can only show that she is very talented in science, but the content of the high school culture class and the content of IMO are two concepts.
Let’s put it this way, two of the questions presented in the last IMO were not made by professors from some well-known universities.
It shows its difficulty.
No matter how brilliant Su Xingchen scores in the college entrance examination, for the professors of these colleges and universities, her level is far from comparable to that of some college professors, right?
Making up lessons for Su Xingchen is the most important thing, I'm afraid she will drag the Hua Guo team back.
This is not to underestimate her, but an objective fact.
Fortunately, Su Xingchen's savvy and learning ability are indeed very strong. Even in just two weeks, she is still improving at a rapid pace. No matter how fast or difficult their teaching progress, she is like a dry sponge. The same, keep absorbing.
Soon it came to the opening ceremony of the IMO. Before the official start of the competition, there was an opening performance. Everyone sat under the stage similar to the auditorium and watched the band performance.
When entering the auditorium, a teenager with black hair and yellow skin on the opposite side walked to Su Xingchen very enthusiastically, smiled and said something to Su Xingchen, and then said something to others.
It was the Japanese language, she didn't understand it, but another boy in their team understood it, and returned him a sentence, suddenly making the Japanese teenager sink his face and looking at the Chinese teenager, the two were obviously smiling. , Partially blazing.
The teenager of the Japanese national team smiled again, not knowing what he said, and turned away.
"Do you speak Japanese?" Gao Shang asked the tall and thin boy who was talking to the Japanese boy before, "What is he talking about?"
The tall and thin boy of the Hua Guo team said blankly: "He said he is a fan of Su Xingchen, and he likes Su Xingchen very much."
"Really?" Gao Shang was a little excited.
The tall and thin boy with an honest face continued: "He asked us if there is no one in China? He even asked a star to compete."
Noble and angrily pursed his mouth, he heard the tall and thin boy next to him continue to say: "I told him that even if he is a celebrity, it is more than enough to deal with their Japanese countries.
Noble immediately became happy after hearing this.
The tall and thin boy glanced at Su Xingchen: "He regards you as our weakest link and says he wishes us good luck."
It's useless to win, you have to use your strength to defeat the opponent.
He didn't worry about himself, he only worried about Su Xingchen, who ran to take the college entrance examination after the training camp.
In fact, in the hearts of several members of the Hua Guo team, Su Xingchen is indeed the weakest link.
Even when she was on the training team, her performance was better than noble.
This time the game was held in the stadium of Romania.
I originally thought that such a game would not be watched by many people, but the stadium was full of things, which surprised the Romanian staff, who had already held six IMO competitions, when they looked at the almost full seats in the stadium. .
Almost 70% of the spectators in the seats were yellow-skinned and black-haired. They entered the arena quietly, took their seats, and then raised the light sign of'Su Xingchen, come on' in their hands and Su Xingchen's huge pictorial.
Organizer:...
This is not like watching an IMO game, but like watching an NBA game.= =
Unlike in other countries, no one pays attention to it. China’s domestic live webcast is very large, and most of them are young people. The live broadcast process is very strange. The whole process is watching quiet exams on the screen. Fast.
The morning is the opening ceremony and the afternoon is the oath.
The I competition is held on the second day of the opening ceremony. Like the CMO finals, it is divided into two days, four and a half hours a day, with a total of six questions selected from six different countries. Each question is seven points out of 40. Two points.
The first day is P1P2P3 three questions.
Generally speaking, P1 is relatively simple, while P3 and P6 are very difficult. How difficult is it?For example, in one year's examination questions, more than 600 contestants only scored more than 20 points in total. On average, each person only got a few tenths of a point (0.04 points).
The total scores of the top ten teams add up to less than 10 points.
All the six members of the Chinese national team participated in the IMO for the first time. Even if it had been predicted that the questions of the IMO competition would be very difficult, they still looked very heavy after the first day of the exam.
Especially noble.
She has a more open personality, not the temperament that can hide her thoughts, her brows are slightly frowned, and she almost didn't cry.
Looking at the other people, Chu Yunzhi, Su Xingchen, and the tall and thin boys who could speak Japanese before had calm expressions, and the expressions of the other two boys were heavy and guilty.
After seeing the expressions of a few people, both observers and teachers sank.
I'm afraid that this time, the first place has missed China again.
