There were 535 contestants from 99 countries.

Scores of 15 or more earned Bronze (120 total Bronze), scores of 22 or greater earned Silver (100 total Silver), scores of 31 or greater earned Gold (47 total Gold medals).

Many thanks to Team Leader Zuming Feng, and Deputy Leader Razvan Gelca for their very hard work in preparing the team so well, and advocating for the team's individual scores in the coordination phase.

Yesterday, the team members got a chance to explore Madrid, including games, fund and activities in the park El Retiro in east Madrid, along with other city sights.

Today the team is on a sight-seeing tour to Toledo, tomorrow evening will be the closing ceremonies. For details on the activities, and some photos, check the IMO website, for the "IMO News" page.
