Eight school students in the senior and junior national teams of Russia won five gold and three silver awards. Among the winners in the senior age group was a student from Krasnoyarsk Alexander Babin, who was awarded a gold medal.

This was not the first time that the eleventh grader has won Olympiads of various levels. In 2021, at the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for School Students, he became the best in three disciplines at once: Informatics, Physics and Ecology Also in 2021, he became the awardwinner of the Mathematics All-Russian Olympiad for School Students.

— I got a good knowledge base in computer science while studying at the Centre for Professional Self-Identification in Krasnoyarsk. I was also preparing for the international Olympiad at the Sirius educational centre together with the Russian team. The tasks were difficult, but solvable. In the future, I would like to connect my profession with programming.

The graduate also plans to take on the International Olympiad in Informatics. It will take place in September 2022.

The international tournament was held online. In two days, the participante of each age group had to solve six problems in one of the programming languages approved by the jury. C / C ++ was the most popular choice for the competition.
