Peruvian 13-year-old student Jose Garcia Sulca won a gold medal at the XVI Mathematical Olympiad held in Mar del Plata, Argentina, solving all math questions without any mistake.
He achieved a score equivalent to 20, which made him deserving of the golden award.
The Olympiad, held between December 7 and 12, gathered the best mathematical students from Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Brazil and Uruguay, who participated in this event after a disputed classification in their respective countries.
García, who is no stranger to winning competitions, joined the Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal two years ago when he was in the sixth grade, one of his greatest achievements according to Andina news agency.
He was born in Ica, Peru where he lives with his parents. Due to the region's scarce economic resources, García was taken in by Saco Oliveros school, where he receives food and daily care.
Two of his classmates, Nohelia Jimenez Valenzuela and Iván Muñoz Castillo, each won bronze medals.
