4 girls from Chengdu went to the Chinese Women's Mathematical Olympiad and all won gold!

  The two lock up tickets for the Chinese Mathematics Olympiad

  From August 11th to 14th, the 21st China Women's Mathematical Olympiad (CGMO) was held in Tianjin Nankai Middle School. The competition attracted more than 150 outstanding middle school girls from more than 30 teams across the country.

After two days of competition, 44 people won the gold medal, 54 people won the silver medal, and 45 people won the bronze medal.

  Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter learned that in this competition, the four participating girls from the Sichuan Province team all won gold medals. Liao Linlu and Li Xiang from "Jiaxiang Jinjiang" for short, and Liu Yingxi from Chengdu Foreign Language School.

  In addition, 18 students who won the gold medal entered the national mathematics winter camp for middle school students.

According to the competition rules, these 18 students will directly become members of the provincial team in their provinces and will continue to sprint towards the 38th China Mathematical Olympiad (CMO) held in November this year.

The reporter noticed that according to the list of winter camps, Tang Zihan and Liao Linlu locked in the Sichuan Provincial Team in advance, and successfully obtained the tickets for the 38th China Mathematical Olympiad.

Talk about the competition:

  In addition to the usual accumulation

  Attitude and stamina are very important

  According to reports, the two-day examination of this competition lasted from 8:00 to 12:00 every day. Each round of the examination has four major questions. The examination content includes algebra, geometry, combination, number theory, etc.

  Looking back on the process of the competition, the key word given by Tang Zihan was "concentration".

In a 4-hour exam, it is very important not to be impetuous, to sit still, and to be calm. "When you encounter a stuck question, it is easy to get into a stalemate if you deal with it too much. You should jump out of the stereotype properly and review it again. Maybe the problem will be solved. Resolved."

  Liao Linlu said that the mentality of the competition is very important.

The challenges of the competition are indeed very difficult, but as a competition student, these are also expected.

Therefore, in the face of two-day competitions, no matter how good the test is on the first day, you should adjust your attitude in time and know how to choose. "Everyone is good at different sectors, and the focus of each competition will be different. Keep a good attitude and break through the problems one by one.”

  Teachers who are familiar with these two "Golden Flowers" all said that it was not accidental that they could stand out in this competition and successfully get the tickets for the 38th China Mathematical Olympiad, but more due to their daily efforts and accumulation. .

  Turning to Tang Zihan's competition history, she has emerged in the first Qiu Chengtong Girls' Middle School Mathematics Competition, and won the first prize in the Sichuan Division in the 2021 National Middle School Mathematics Olympiad (preliminary competition), and was successfully selected for the Sichuan Provincial Team. In the 37th China Mathematical Olympiad, not only won the silver medal in the event, but also won the qualification for the double-first-class college strong base.

After more than half a year of precipitation and accumulation, Tang Zihan has higher requirements for herself. This time, her goal is to sprint to the national training team while winning the gold medal in this year's China Mathematics Olympiad.

  Liao Linlu has appeared in major mathematics competitions since Gao, and has won many achievements: the 2020 National High School Mathematics League, won the first prize; the 2021 National Middle School Mathematics Olympiad (preliminary), won the first prize in the Sichuan Division , was selected for the provincial team; in 2021, he participated in the mathematics summer camp of Peking University and won the second prize...

  According to the competition schedule, the 38th China Mathematical Olympiad will be held in November this year. Although the 21st China Women's Mathematical Olympiad has just passed, the two students have already devoted themselves to intensive preparations, in order to achieve excellent results in the subsequent competitions. .

Talk about amateur life:

  A piano passed tenth grade

  A second-level chess player

  When it comes to competition students, the outside world often regards them as a class of students with extraordinary talents.

However, in the eyes of Tang Zihan and Liao Linlu, such an understanding is still a bit one-sided.

"Whether you can compete well, you can't escape the three laws of talent, love, and diligence, but talent is not the only indicator that determines the height of the competition. In reality, there are also students who are mediocre in talent, but they make up for the lack of talent with several times of effort. Very good grades. In contrast, sticking to what you love can have a steady stream of motivation." Tang Zihan said.

  Love is like a shot in the arm in competition, which is also reflected in Liao Linlu.

  According to Liao Linlu's head teacher Ma Yong, Liao Linlu is very obsessed with mathematics. A few months before the exam, she suffered a broken foot and ligament injury due to an accident, but she still implemented the review plan regardless of rain or shine. , she went in a wheelchair." Speaking of this student, Luo Yuhui, the math teacher and in-charge coach, was both moved and distressed. In his opinion, love was like the driving force behind Liao Linlu's competition, prompting her to pass one level at a time. Break through the problems and move forward step by step towards the dream.

  What does a girl who is top-notch in math look like?

Many people think of "dull", "taciturn" and so on.

But this is not the case. Under the label of competition students, the two 16-year-old girls also have a different kind of excitement outside the competition.

  Tang Zihan has been learning the piano since childhood and has already passed the tenth grade.

She is also keen to participate in the group activities of competing teams, such as volleyball, a traditional sport of Chengdu No. 7 Middle School.

“I have a very broad range of interests, and I often choose a book at random from the school book corner to read, and I will find surprises in it. For example, hundreds of well-known composers are described in the recent tome “The Essence of Classical Music”. I am very interested in his life, and I often study it after studying in competitions.”

  And Liao Linlu especially loves chess, and has won the title of second-level chess player, emerging in big and small competitions: the second national chess competition in the "Midwest Cup" and the second provincial chess championship in Sichuan Province. , "Young Ya Cup" chess competition in the city's first place.

In addition to chess, she also likes to do aerobics and play table tennis. These interests and hobbies are the magic weapon for her to relax.
