In 2020, the first online Olympiad took place, in which our participants were enrolled in the CHAMPIONS group, and nonparticipant was enrolled in the SUPERCHAMPIONS group. This year, our two participants Eva Bondarenkova and Sofia Tyazheva also showed decent results and entered the group of CHAMPIONS, with which we congratulate them today! "
