Following the announcement of the results of the 62nd International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) on 24 July, the results of the 51st International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) were also announced. The Chinese team won gold medals in both international Olympiads, among which Xia Yuxing and Ma Yinghao, two students of the First Affiliated High School of Central China Normal University, won the gold medals of the International Mathematical Olympiad and the International Physics Olympiad respectively.

The 62nd IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) came to an end on 24 July 2021 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Affected by the new crown epidemic, this year's IMO was conducted online, and the Chinese team participated in the competition at the Center for International Mathematics Research of Peking University. After two days of fierce competition, Xia Yuxing of Huashi No. 1 Affiliated Middle School won the 62nd IMO Gold Medal with excellent results. The Chinese team won the first place in the overall team score, and the six team members all won the gold medal, which is also the 22nd time since the Chinese team participated in the IMO, the first place in the team total score, and the 13th time that all six team members won the gold medal.
Xia Yuxing's head coach Ye Xinnian introduced that Xia Yuxing was selected for the mathematics national training team in 2019, and was sent to the Yao class of Tsinghua University in his first year of high school. Due to the epidemic situation, the selection activity of the 61st IMO China national team in 2020 was cancelled. With excellent results, he was selected for the 62nd IMO China National Training Team, and stood out in the training activities and was successfully selected for the 62nd IMO China National Team composed of 6 people. Coach Ye said that in the selection competition, there are only 3 questions in each game, but the duration is 4 and a half hours, and there are 8 auditions, which are difficult and very brain-burning. "Both in terms of mathematical competition level and mental will, it is a considerable test for the players participating in the selection." Coach Ye said.
Xiong Li, xia Yuxing's class teacher, sighed: "Xia Yuxing is a person who loves mathematics and can endure loneliness, extremely calm, confident, self-disciplined, and tenacious will quality in learning and life. ”
Xia Yuxing's father shared a story and expressed his gratitude for the cultivation of the school's teachers. Xia Yuxing's father said that Coach Ye and Teacher Xiong, the class teacher, helped Xia Yuxing as if they were their own children. "While loving him, I am also very strict with my children." Xia Dad said that at the beginning of the class, the class required 7:20 to arrive at the school, and some students entered the school two or three minutes away, and were severely criticized by Coach Ye, "I was still incredible, these are the most cattle children in the most cattle high school, can't they enjoy a little privilege?" Xia Yuxing's father explained that because parents want their children to eat well and sleep well, there may be a difference in time, but under the leadership of Coach Ye, Xia Yuxing is strict with himself regardless of time or answering questions, "Under the leadership of the teacher, Xia Yuxing has developed good learning habits and become the most important wealth in his life." In the past few years of his competitive career, he has constantly looked for problems that he will not be able to do, and he has the courage to face any difficulties." ”
Ma Yinghao: Affectionately known as "Little Brother Ma" by his classmates

The 51st International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), originally planned to be held in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, was affected by the epidemic and the competition was held online, and the Chinese competition was held at Tsinghua University.
Ma Yinghao's head coach Lu Zhixiang said that as the only high school sophomore among the 5 players of the Chinese team, Ma Yinghao won the fifth place in the world, which is inseparable from the school's meticulous training plan and his own efforts, Ma Yinghao's usual personality is stable, not only learning steadily, but also self-learning ability, high learning efficiency, theory and experimental training are very in place, therefore, can absorb the university physics content in a relatively short period of time, and finally achieve excellent results.
Assistant coach Li Zhiqiang said, "Taking the road of physics competition, talent, interest, and ability to endure hardships are indispensable." He hopes that through the competition, students can tap their own potential and improve their knowledge, self-learning ability, self-control, concentration and other aspects. Referring to Ma Yinghao, Coach Li believes that Ma Yinghao has strong learning depth, good learning quality and high learning efficiency. First of all, although Ma Yinghao's learning speed is not the fastest in the group, after learning the same book, his learning depth is the best. Secondly, his learning quality is very good, good at planning and reflecting on his own learning, for example, before the competition, he will take the initiative to sort out the knowledge points, organize them into documents, and be shared by the teacher as an example in the whole group. In addition, his learning efficiency is also very high, and he never engages in fatigue warfare.
The class teacher, Mr. Xu Guangming, mentioned that Ma Yinghao is a particularly mature, stable and persistent student, who not only shows strong learning ability in learning, but also pays attention to all-round development, and also pays attention to strengthening the learning of other disciplines in the process of preparing for physics competitions. In particular, Ma Yinghao is particularly helpful, often taking the initiative to help his classmates talk about physics in the class, and is affectionately known as "Little Brother Ma" by his classmates. Teacher Xu said that once Ma Yinghao helped students to give a lecture, he instinctively felt that the answer to the question was wrong, and later verified that this was the case.
Ma Yinghao said that he was in contact with mathematical competitions in junior high school, compared to mathematical competitions, more need inspiration, physics competitions focus on the ability to solve problems and thinking, under the leadership of their coaches, participate in learning and training, they will first study and read books, encounter places where they can't understand, they will think independently, and then ask teachers and classmates, "It is really difficult to put it down first, and then come back to study after a period of time, you can't exhaust your time and confidence for a place." ”
In order to prepare for the competition, teachers and students often sacrifice a lot of rest time, Ma Yinghao said that learning physics competition is not only for the competition, for further education, but more importantly, the ability and love for science obtained from it, "In the future, I want to engage in scientific research work, overcome the card neck technology in the field of basic research, and hope that all those who choose this path can learn and succeed." ”
It is reported that in order to cultivate innovative and top-notch talents, HuashiYiFu Middle School adopts a dual tutor or even multi-tutor training method for these, the head coach comprehensively designs and arranges the students' learning and planning, and the homeroom teacher carefully tutors the students, paying attention to the students' lives, psychology and so on.
