Is china usually the best or are there other countries that are usually in the top?
I wouldn't usually expect for a USA person to win.

China and Russia are always very good; US is usually in the top 5.
I'm pretty sure the records for teams are online, but I can't find them right now.

Yeah my dad tied for first at the Soviet Union Olympiad and made the IMO in 1985 but he did not do as good as he wanted to there.
That year the Union of the Soviet socialist republics aka Russia got 6th. I am not sure what my dad got but I think he was second with a score of 28.

Here is the website

Im not sure. I guess im not bad. At the chapter CD i knew some of the answers before the participants. Im probably better at CD then i m at writing. This would probably give me problems at the IMO. Rotfl
