Vietnamese students win 'gold' again at International Physics Olympiad

The Vietnamese national team has 5 students participating in the 2025 International Physics Olympiad and all students won medals with 1 gold medal and 4 silver medals.

The Ministry of Education and Training has just announced the results of the Vietnamese national team competing in the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2025 held in the Republic of France. Accordingly, the Vietnamese national team has 5 students competing and all students won medals with 1 gold medal and 4 silver medals.

Specifically, the only gold medal belonged to Nguyen The Quan, a 12th grade student at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Nghe An .

The four silver medals went to students: Ly Ba Khoi and Truong Duc Dung, both 12th graders, High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences (University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi); Nguyen Cong Vinh, 12th grader, Bac Ninh High School for the Gifted, Bac Ninh province; Tran Le Thien Nhan, 12th grader, Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted, Hue City.

With 1 gold medal and 4 silver medals, the Vietnamese delegation is among the top ten countries with the highest results at IPhO 2025. This achievement continues the series of impressive results that Vietnamese student delegations have achieved at international and regional Olympic competitions over the past many years.

The 55th International Physics Olympiad was held in the Republic of France from July 17 to 25 with the participation of 94 delegations (including 5 observer delegations) from 94 countries and territories, and 406 contestants.

IPhO 2025 includes 2 official exam days: 1 day of theory exam and 1 day of practical exam, each exam has a duration of 5 hours.

The theoretical and experimental exams demonstrate a subtle combination of modern physics and close-to-life real-world phenomena – from the structure of hydrogen atoms to galactic structures, from magnet oscillations to crater formation.

The problem of creating bubbles in a glass of champagne not only has profound physical significance (related to pressure, acoustics, viscous friction, etc.) but is also a unique cultural highlight, bringing French culinary tradition into the IPhO exam.

The experimental test consists of two problems, one of which requires synthetic thinking and precise measurement skills; the other involves "landing and moving safely, avoiding getting bogged down in sand dunes on the surface of Mars of the rover"...
