RIYADH: Saudi students have won six medals — a gold, four silvers and a bronze — at the 26th Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This year’s JBMO was held in the capital Sarajevo from June 28 to July 3, with the participation of 106 contestants representing 18 countries.
So far, the Saudi team has collected a total of 53 medals (eight gold, 17 silver and 22 bronze) through its 10 appearances since the start of the competition.
The Saudi nominees are selected by the King Abdulaziz and his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity in cooperation with the Ministry of Education.
