The teenager who was chasing after Su Xingchen and the others suddenly yelled in the language of their country: "They must be Chinese, only Chinese people have such a high enthusiasm for mathematics. I heard that Chinese people are very good at mathematics!"
"Yes, they must have come to see the IMO, and they all came 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!"
IMO games, no one in their country watches them at all.
If it weren't for the press conference report, no one would even know that they participated in the IMO after the annual IMO competition. The IMO competition always comes and goes quietly, like Huaguo, like a Champions League final A situation like this is unimaginable.
Even if their country won the first place in the team competition last year, only mathematics enthusiasts like them, and 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 rugby and basketball.
There are more than 100 countries and regions participating in the IMO this time, and contestants from other countries have the same idea as this young man. Seeing so many yellow-skinned and black-haired fans come to IMO, I can't help but marvel, "No wonder Hua The National Mathematics Society is so good, and their enthusiasm for mathematics is amazing!"
It is the first time for them to participate in the IMO competition. They have never seen what the previous IMO was like. In addition, the host countries are different each time, so there is no comparison. It's a paradise for math lovers!
Standing in front of the glass window of the hotel, looking at the fans lingering downstairs, players from many countries expressed similar sighs.
Players from other countries felt strange, looking at the fans in the crowd holding lights and banners: "Why are they still holding photos? They look like groupies."
"The IMO competition may be like the Champions League final to Chinese people, and those who come to IMO may be like football stars participating in the Champions League final to them." The tone of the boy who said this was full of envy and yearning .
In their school, those who are popular are always those who have well-developed limbs and shine on the court. People like him who like to use their brains are not popular in school.
Looking at so many fans below holding up lights and posters, they not only sighed: "With so many fans, the IMO contestants are probably the same as Ronaldo in their hearts!"
"C Ronaldo!" The boy who spoke before was even more envious, how much he wanted to be admired and loved like Ronaldo.
"So what?" On the single sofa, a delicate boy with blond hair and white skin raised his head from the book, his eyes were cold: "Hua Guo has won the third place for three consecutive years."
"Three years in a row," he emphasized.
"But they're still our rivals, Alex." The brown-haired girl by the French window reminded him. "There are a total of 59 IMO sessions, and they have won 13 first prizes."
They all know this information very clearly. They are the first US team in IMO last year.
The blond boy pouted, 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 tapped on the computer keyboard quickly, and soon, he found the information of the girl in the photo, turned the computer to face the brown-haired girl who had spoken before, and said, "That's just a star in their country, and they live here too." In this hotel, idiot."
They don't know much about the celebrities in Huaguo, and they only know Cheng Long. As for the female celebrities, most of the female celebrities in Asia look the same in their eyes. Maybe they can tell the difference if they are particularly popular, but definitely Not Su Xingchen.
Su Xingchen's traffic is currently only in China.
The brown-haired girl didn't know Su Xingchen either, so she came to see the information on the blonde boy's computer and realized that he was really a celebrity.
However, she was a little unconvinced, so she searched more on the Internet and found: "Huh? She is indeed a star, but she is also Hua Guo's contestant who came to participate in the IMO this time."
The blond boy lowered his slender light-colored eyelashes and looked at her with disdain: "A star?"
"Yes! A star, actually came to participate in IMO!" The brown-haired girl exclaimed: "It's so cool!"
"It's really cool." The boy standing by came over and whistled when he saw the information on the computer: "So we don't have to worry about Huaguo anymore?" He said in a relaxed tone.
"Don't underestimate the enemy." The brown-haired girl folded her arms and frowned, "That's Huaguo!"
The whistling boy shrugged, obviously not paying attention to her words.
For them, Russia, Russia, Huaguo, Eagle Country, etc., are all traditional strong teams, but Huaguo has obviously been weak in the past few years.
In fact, after the Huaguo team, which was being talked about by the players from these countries, arrived at the hotel, they were a little dazed when they saw the Shamat group headed by Cheng Kangyao who also appeared in the hotel.
The appearance of the Kill Matt Legion and Cheng Kangyao made them realize in despair that in the few months after the training camp, Su Xingchen not only ran back to take the college entrance examination, but also fell in love.
Don't ask how they know about this, netizens all over the country know about it, and the photos of them holding hands have all been published!
They looked at Su Xingchen, then at Cheng Kangyao... they only hope that Su Xingchen is a reliable person.
Just put yourself in, under the premise of preparing for the college entrance examination with all your strength, and even got 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 hopeless I become.
Team leaders and observer teachers also feel headaches.
The teacher observer even smiled wryly with the two team leaders in private: "Don't talk about the first place this time, if you can keep the third place, you will complete the task."
In fact, the leaders of each session lead the contestants to the expedition, carrying the hope of being the first in the National People's Examination.
In the minds of many Hua people, if you don’t get the first place in the test or win the championship, you are a failure or a loser.
On the contrary, the deputy leader teacher who had taught her for twenty days smiled and said, "It's too early to say that!"
Professor Yu Qiutong also taught Su Xingchen in the training team before, but after a few months, he still doesn't know how good Su Xingchen is now, so he said to the deputy team leader of the professor from the Department of Mathematics of University Z: "After selecting the topic, I I won’t be able to contact you anymore, and I’ll leave them to you. As for Su Xingchen, don’t relax these few days. If you can teach me a little, she still has some understanding.”
Neither of the two observers had ever taught Su Xingchen, so they were a little surprised to hear the two professors say this.
Because there are only ten days left before the game.
This time Huaguo's team leader is Professor Yu Qiutong. After arriving at the venue, the team leader will participate in topic selection. In order to prevent cheating, contact with all deputy team leaders, observers, and participating members is prohibited during the topic selection process, including calls. The daily itinerary is arranged by the deputy leader and observer.
The deputy team leader was the professor from Z University who had tutored Chu Yunzhi and Su Xingchen during the summer vacation. The two observers were one from China Normal University and the other a special teacher from Haishi Middle School.
Said to be the team leader observer, in fact, like the teacher in the training team, he is also their instructor 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.
IMO was nearly two weeks before and after. It was said to be a competition, but it was actually more like a gathering among international players.
It only takes two days for the official competition, and the rest of the time is spent arranging tours to the scenic spots where it is held, or playing intellectual games such as ball, chess, and Sudoku with players from other countries, and having 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 their safety and life and all other issues.
Intellectual games such as Sudoku and chess are the best way for them to compete and try at the beginning.
Alex of the US team is one of them who is good at brain games.
This is already the second time for him to participate in the IMO competition. They were both champions last year and the year before. He is already a two-time gold medalist with full marks.
As one of the IMO powerhouses, the Huaguo team is also one of the countries they need to have 'friendly exchanges' in advance, but he didn't see that star.
Perhaps, she is still being taught privately by the teachers of the Hua Guo team
Not only did he guess it, but many other countries that followed the Hua Guo team also guessed it.
He really guessed it right, Su Xingchen was really detained by the deputy team leader alone in the room for training.
Yes, training camp.
After the training team ended, the other members had relevant relationships and continued to find professors to teach them, such as Chu Yunzhi, who was still preparing for the IMO in those few months.
What about Su Xingchen? She ran to the college entrance examination.
Even if she has 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 the IMO are two different concepts.
Let's put it this way, among the questions presented at the last IMO, there were two questions that professors from some well-known universities failed to solve.
You can see its difficulty.
No matter how brilliant Su Xingchen achieved in the college entrance examination, for the professors of these colleges, her level is far from being comparable to that of some college professors, right
Making up lessons for Su Xingchen is the most important thing, I am afraid that she will hinder the Hua Guo team.
This is not to underestimate her, but an objective fact.
Fortunately, Su Xingchen's comprehension and learning ability are indeed very strong. Even in just two weeks, she is still improving at a rapid speed. No matter how fast or difficult their teaching progress is, she is like a dry sponge Same, keep absorbing.
The day of the opening ceremony of IMO will soon be here. Before the official start of the competition, there will be an opening performance. Everyone sits together at the bottom of the performance stage similar to an auditorium and watches the band performance above.
When entering the auditorium, a boy with black hair and yellow skin on the opposite side walked up to Su Xingchen very enthusiastically, said a lot to Su Xingchen with a smile on his face, and then said something to the others.
It's Japanese language, she didn't understand it, but another boy from their team understood it, and replied him, which immediately made the Wa country boy look down, looking at the Hua country boy, the two of them were obviously smiling , but it is full of fire.
The Japanese team boy smiled again and said something, turned around and left.
"You can also speak Japanese?" Gao Shang was a little confused, so he 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 Huaguo team who understood said with a blank expression: "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 and ordinary face continued: "He asked if there is no one in Huaguo? He even asked a star to participate."
Gao Shang pouted angrily, and heard the tall and thin boy next to him continue to say: "I told him, even if he is a celebrity, he is more than enough to deal with them."
Gao Shang immediately became happy when he heard this.
The tall and thin boy looked at Su Xingchen: "He regarded you as our weakest link and said he wished us good luck."
It's useless to win with talk, you have to use strength to defeat the opponent.
He wasn't worried about himself, he was only worried about Su Xingchen who went 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 in the training team, her grades were better than Gao Shang.
This time the match was held in a stadium in Romania.
Originally thought that such a game would not attract many people’s attention and watching, but the gymnasium was full. This made the staff of Romania, who had held six IMO games, very surprised when they saw 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 held up the signboards of 'Su Xingchen, come on' in their hands, as well as the huge pictorial of Su Xingchen.

It's not like watching an IMO game, it's more like watching an NBA game. = =
Unlike other countries where no one pays attention, Huaguo is broadcasting the whole process online, and the number of viewers is very large. Most of them are young people. The process of the live broadcast is very strange. They are watching the quiet exam on the screen the whole time, only the barrage fast.
The morning is the opening ceremony, and the afternoon is the oath taking.
The I competition was held on the second day of the opening ceremony. Like the CMO finals, it was divided into two days, four and a half hours a day, with a total of six questions, selected from six different countries, with seven points for each question, and a full score of forty two points.
The first day is P1P2P3 three questions.
Generally speaking, P1 is relatively easy, but P3 and P6 are very difficult. How difficult is it? For example, in one year's exam questions, more than 600 contestants scored a total of more than 20 points. On average, each person only scored a fraction of a point (0.04 points).
The total points of the top ten teams are all less than ten points.
All six members of the Hua Guo team participated in the IMO for the first time. Even though they had already predicted that the IMO competition questions would be very difficult, they still looked very heavy after the first day of the exam.
Especially noble.
She has a more outgoing personality, and she is not the one who can hide her own 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 boy who could speak Japanese before all had calm expressions, while the other two boys also had heavy and guilty expressions.
After seeing the expressions of several people, the hearts of the two observer teachers sank.
I'm afraid that this time, Huaguo will never be the number one again.
