HKAGE Student Members Grab 7 Awards in CMO 2013
(Hong Kong – 25 January 2013) Eight student members of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (the HKAGE), who participated in the training programme jointly organised by the HKAGE and the International Mathematical Olympiad Hong Kong Committee, achieved strong results in the China Mathematical Olympiad 2013 (CMO), winning four silvers and three bronzes for Hong Kong.
The contest ran from 10th to 14th of January in Shenyang of Liaoning Province. 320 people from 31 teams representing Mainland provinces, cities or regions, Hong Kong, Macau and Russia competed for awards in the Northeast Yucai School.
Wong Sze Nga, the only female member of the Hong Kong team, was happy to win a bronze award. She said,“I think I have done my best and I have no regrets.” However, she said she did not have an opportunity to travel around Shenyang due to extremely cold weather.
Hui Pak Nam, another team member who also participated in the same contest last year, had richer experience this year. He said, “CMO is tough. I won a bronze last year, and had since set a goal to make progress this year. I won a silver and I am very happy with that. In fact, I have spent more time than last year to prepare for the contest. I benefit a lot from the training programme provided by the HKAGE. The instructor once asked us to do a problem-solving assignment. I spent a lot of time on it. My mathematical skills were enhanced as a result.” Hui appreciated the opportunity to have knowledge exchange during the contest with mathematical elites from different countries.
