Approximately 480 OBMEP medalists, who are participating in the PIC program, took part in the selection process for the training. This is an opportunity for students from public schools to participate in training aimed at competing in an international olympiad. The selected students are: Rodrigo Salgado Domingos Porto, Vítor Lorenson Bortolini, Gabriel Nobuaki Nojima, Arthur Menezes Botelho, Laysa Gilles Guidi, João Pedro Tambosi, Guilherme Carvalho Senra, Jonatan de Lima Santos, Henrique Brunuro Krohling, Natália Bigolin Groff, Francisco Gabriel de Lima Brasil, Maria Eduarda Vieira de Farias da Silva, Matheus Peterle Modoloe, and Pedro Miguel Pereira Gonzaga Vianna.
IMO
The students selected for the IMO, the main international mathematics tournament, will undergo 15 days of intensive training (June 18 to July 1) for the competition, which this year will be held in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from July 3 to 14.
The goal is for Lucas Hiroshi Hanke Harada, André Yuji Hisatsuga, and Pedro Lucas Lanaro Sponchiado, from São Paulo (SP); Bruno Brasil Meinhart, from Fortaleza (CE); Pedro Gomes Cabral, from Recife (PE); and Bernardo Peruzzo Trevizan, from Canoas (RS), to be well-prepared to represent Brazil and improve on their 2017 results.
