Four Peruvian schoolchildren were gold and silver medalists at the 20th Mathematics Olympiad of South America's Southern Cone region, held in Argentina on April 14th-19th.

Jose Garcia Sulca (14), Julian Mejia Cordero (15), Ivan Muñoz Castillo (15) were awarded the only three gold medals at the Mathematics Olympiad, while Gian Franco Umeres Peralta (15) and an Argentine student won silver medals.

All of them were intensively prepared during a year for this competition, which gathers the best students of Mathematics (aged up to 16 years old) from the region.

Every student did the same test and the winners of this international tournament (held in Mar del Plata, Argentine) were officially announced on March 14th at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (Pontifical Catholic University of Peru).
