Saudi Arabia's Chemistry Olympiad Team Wins Four Medals, including Silver, at 55th Session in Switzerland
Saudi Arabia's International Chemistry Olympiad team has returned home with four medals after competing in the 55th session of the event held in Switzerland from July 16 to 25.
The team's impressive performance saw them win one silver medal each, with Ali Al-Mousa, Hassan Al-Khalifa, Mohammed Al-Hadlaq, and Ali Al-Saleh all being recognized for their achievements.
The Saudi team's success was made even more significant as it marked the first time that the Kingdom had competed in the IChO.
The team was guided by the King Abdulaziz and His Companions’ Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity, or Mawhiba, a non-profit endowment organization that supports talented students in scientific fields.
The IChO is an annual international competition in chemistry for high school students that takes place over 10 days.
Student competitors must complete practical and theoretical tests, each lasting over 5 hours.
The country hosting the Olympiad prepares the questions for the contestants, and each team must consist of four students under the age of 20.
The Saudi team's achievements were recognized by the event's president, Gunther Dissertori, who handed over the IChO flag to Saudi Arabia, signifying that the Kingdom would be the host of the event next year from July 22 to 31 in Riyadh.
The team's success is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of the students and the support provided by Mawhiba.
The organization's efforts to support talented students in scientific fields are crucial in helping to develop the next generation of scientists and researchers.
The upcoming Olympiad in Riyadh is expected to be an exciting event, with 89 countries set to participate.
The event will be held in partnership with Mawhiba, the Ministry of Education, King Saud University, and sponsored by Saudi Arabia's Basic Industries Corporation.
With the support of these organizations, the Olympiad is sure to be a success and inspire a new generation of chemists.
