The team representing Cuba in the 65th International Mathematics Olympiad received five honorable mentions in this demanding and competitive event, which concluded this Sunday in Bath, United Kingdom.
Karla Yisel Ramírez Garcel, Ricardo Molano Domínguez, Ailema Matos Rodríguez, Ián David Lorenzo García, and Marcel Gámez Salvo were the young individuals who received honorable mentions.
Completing the team of Cubans is the student Damiam Fuentes Campos.
The contestants had to face two days of tough mathematical tests, with a total of six questions from areas such as algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics, which they had to answer in just four and a half hours.
Cuba was one of the one hundred countries participating in the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad.
Miryorly García, mother of the young contestant Ián David Lorenzo García,Highlighted on Facebook the achievement of the young Cubans: “Very proud of this team because we know that every little point in that test is worth a round of applause!!!”
Recently, the mother also said on Facebook: “Very proud of my son, my brave and persevering warrior, my life!”.

García also shared a video showing the official presentation of the Cuban team, which, in addition to the students, had Ernesto Alejandro López Cadalso as coach and leader, and Román Fresneda Quiroga as mentor.
In 2023, Ián David Lorenzo García and Dalia Oliver Ballesteros won a silver medal at the XXV Central American and Caribbean Mathematical Olympiad, held in El Salvador.
Lorenzo and Oliver accumulated 31 and 27 points, respectively, earning fifth place for Cuba with 58 points, according to the results published on the contest's website.
That same year, two Cuban students won the bronze medal at the XXXVIII Ibero-American Mathematics Olympiad held in Brazil.
Karla Yisel Ramírez Garcell and Ricardo Miguel Molano Domínguez earned the bronze medal for their performance in the competition that brought together contestants from Latin American countries, Spain, and Portugal.
