The Brazilian delegation embarked for Europe in the early evening of Saturday (22) to compete in the 33rd edition of the Ibero-American Mathematical Olympiad (OIM). The competition will be held from September 24 to 28 in the cities of La Rábida (Spain) and Monte Gordo (Portugal).

The Brazilian team is made up of Pedro Lucas Lanaro Sponchiado (SP), Bernardo Peruzzo Trevizan (SP), Bruno Brasil Meinhart (CE) and Pedro Gomes Cabral (PE). The leaders are professors Eduardo Wagner and Carlos Gustavo Tamm de Araújo Moreira, known as Gugu, both from Rio de Janeiro.
