An impressive achievement for the Israeli team at this year's European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad: A silver medal and two bronze medals. 

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, EGMO 2020 was held via remote communication with 204 girls from 53 countries taking part.

The Israeli team comprised silver medal winner Nogah Friedman, bronze winner Nicole Grosman, bronze winner Maya Kleinstien and Roni Hazan.

The event has been held annually since 2012, with this being the fifth time Israel has sent a team to compete.

The girls were supported and trained by Tel Aviv University, the Future Scientists Center and the Education Ministry. 

CEO of the Future Scientists Center supported by the Maimonides Fund Eli Fried said that these "Israeli students make us all proud."

The competition consists of a series of math problems that each team solves using a computer, and the answers are graded by a panel of judges. Medals are awarded according to the quality of the solution proposed, meaning there can be more than just three winners.

Friedman, 13.5, who won a silver medal, said: "We were supposed to go to Holland, but it was canceled because of the coronavirus a month ago, but we knew it would be on-line. There were all types of training throughout the year, training camps too, but the last month I worked with a trainer via Zoom… The competition itself consists of two tests that are each four-and-a-half hours long. We did them over last weekend, and [Wednesday] the results came in. We went into the website and saw the official result. The feeling is great, I'm very happy. The medal should come in the mail, but it will take a while."
