for the first time since 1988 the imo will be held in australia, so it will only be the second time it is held in australia

website is at https://imo2025.au

contest days are July 15 and 16

2 other websites which are of interest are https://www.imo-official.org which will have results and https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6t1881404f6_imo_2025 which probably will have some discussions of unofficial solutions

shortly after the 2025 imo the 2024 sl will go up at https://www.imo-official.org/problems.aspx

but we'll have to wait a whole year for the 2025 sl

it is interesting that the russian team is named as follows

1. Dmitry Grishko, Moscow
2. Ilya Zamotorin, Saint Petersburg
3. Ivan Chasovskikh, Moscow Region
4. Vasily Patrushev, Vladivostok
5. Artem Sadykov, Chelyabinsk
6. Ivan Kokarev, Chelyabinsk.

due to war in ukraine the last few years russians were allowed quietly to compete as individuals with unassigned country (rather than ban them) and it took a fair bit of sleuthing to ascertain russian contestants.

whether they will be recognised as "russian team" in official results remains to be seen, but up-front naming them from the outset is a change. this article says russia is still suspended: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...s-compete-at-the-international-maths-olympiad

maybe they know by now the sleuthing would go on anyway so may as well name them now.

some might not be able to open the guardian article so i attached a pdf

the guardian article mentions a letter with 714 signatories to suspend israel from the 2025 imo, just as they had done for russia for the last few years

letter attached

I believe the sports and IMO type of competitions should be kept out of political debates.
On the other hand , it is a clear double standard to ban Russia but not Israel.

i get that there's a lot of debate about israel vs palestine but like,,, who is saying russia should be allowed to invade ukraine there is no political debate just universally condemned violations of international law... like there is no debate. no-one is going out onto the street saying russia should be allowed to annex ukraine

How the fuck are these people in high school doing the olympiad, like none of this is even remotely in the syllabus. These retards don't even get state ranks in math for the hsc

yeah many in the maths community say maths must stay out of politics

however when they suspended russia, they already became political

so there’s no turning back.

on suspending israel, well iran behaved badly too so suspend them too?

how about the us? some legal commentators are saying the us bombing iran was a breach of international law, like this: https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle...s-may-be-his-worst-crime-20250622-p5m9ea.html

and so suspend the us too?

it’s a slippery slope. where does it stop? suspend anyone involved in any way in a war, you end up suspending everyone, including australia.

anyway the imo board have responded to the letter by saying they divert the decision to the imo jury which meets in july. so decision on israel hasn’t been made yet, but may come later, so it will be interesting to see what the decision is going to be.

 

[tywebb]

there is another way to deal with it too, maybe not popular, but still may get some support.

lift the suspension on russia and don’t do suspensions anymore, not on russia, not on israel or anyone

it’s not putin or netanyahu who are coming, they are just maths students
