I think that this year, either china, USA or Russia will dominate simply because they tend to do well in general. From a pool of "over 80 million", China has alot of potential to do well, but with the declining global standard for mathematical teaching, we can safely say that learning math is more up to the individual students than the general school system, so I think that the results we will see stand a fair (about 5-20%) chance of surprising us.

My actual belief is, if the "big 3" don't make it, than Romania, Bulgaria or Vietnam will stand the most chance of dominating (of course, I vote Romania... Wink

)

hello

I am probably the worst person by far in math here but it seems to me that US has a small chance this year because they did not get any perfect USAMO's and the top imo gold medalists are in college Sad

Korea was not in the top 10 countries last year, so it was not included in the Poll. For next year's poll this year's first 10 countries will be nominated in the poll.

I wonder how accurate this poll will be in the end Smile

First, i have a personnal idea :I knew Romania mainly by gymnastics , then i found out romanians are also excellent at gymnastics of the mind which is mathematics. This country didn't cease to amaze the world with incredible accomplishments , and for me it's always the winner of the imo since it is a small country (big with it's human ressources) , why should we you compare it to china ,russia or usa? Even though i am expecting that romania will have a lot to show off this year ,and why not surprising us again by winning the imo as i voted !!!!!!!!!!!?
BUNA ROMANIA
Second, each country prepares the imo in particular standards according the importance given to the field and to the responsabilities of the students. For example in morroco only students in their last year of highschool are allowed to participate, and are unfamiliar with olympiad exercises before . how can you expect them to achieve in imo with few months to do everything from A to Z ,with just 1 week training camp!!!, and can they combine with this and with their studies ??, especially that there is a huge exam at the end of the year ...i also mention that there are no rewards for those students , just blames waiting for them when they miss class to to take the imo selection tests ... no use telling you more let's be more optimistic, it's also the case in other countries...all i want to say is that the ranking of a country is determined by how she can make the most of its means not how great its means are...i am not trying to alleviate the values of some countries results neither to boost others, but there are things hidden behind the marks, maybe gold medals covered by bronze...Finally i say good luck to all the teams and i hope one day all countries will be able to compete with this top ten Smile

I totally agree with you wismaniac. If we could get more trained, we can be in the top ten too, but unfortunatly, this is not the case. I hope we will be more efficient in the coming years Very Happy
