Top 20 Country by International Mathematical Olympiad Gold Medal (1959-2019)

This video shows the Top 20 countries with the most total cumulative International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) gold medals since 1959.

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for High School students and is held annually in a different country. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating. It has gradually expanded to over 100 countries from 5 continents. The IMO Board ensures that the competition takes place each year and that each host country observes the regulations and traditions of the IMO.

I will be doing a whole series on the different olympiads, including physics and chemistry in the next couple days!

When USA win,
the winners are also Chinese.

1993: USSR forgot his old account's password and decided to make another account

[patrikbalazs]

Huge credit to the smaller nations such as my mother country Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria as well!

[tomk]

Fun Fact: 95% of American team are also Chinese

[generalCulture]

Hungary is impressive although its small population, it has a great rank.

[whatever]

Us math team = 80% Chinese, 10% Indians, 10% Russians. Sometimes it's all Chinese. During medals ceremony, they looked back and forth between both teams like 15 times because they couldn't tell right off the bat which Chinese team won the gold and which Chinese team won the silver LOL

[Chickenworm]

Winner: China
2nd place: America... with Chinese participants

My respect to Hungary and Romania and other smaller nations.

[timtime]

Russia got his main account banned so he created a smurf account and came back strong again.

[pandjara]

Can we just say respect to Hungary Romania and Bulgaria

[julianaxxo]

Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, 3 small countries are fighting with any of the nations of the world .... bravo.

[NitinGrewal]

What if we add scores of USSR and Russia?

[delacroixx]

Respect to Hungary. It's an insane amount giving that Hungary doesn't even reach 10mil population. Yet it manages to compete with China(1bil), US(300mil) and Russia(140mil)

[ronyLaPulga]

Even after the fall of USSR, the US took 17 years to equalize their tally, then too in just 28 years Russia achieved 100 gold medals

[chubby_earth]

Sometimes, IMO is Chinese vs Chinese.

Remember, China joined this game very late as the year 1985.

[hyzhfer]

My classmate won an IMO gold medal last year. He’s in Peking University now.

[lukeivanov]

Ah Bulgaria, my country. Less than 7 million in population, yet with 54 gold medals. At least we’re good at something.

PS I’m actually a math major too xD

[pierreraton]

Hungary and Romania are impressively strong for the size of their population.
