The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has just received information on the official results of the Vietnamese national team participating in the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2025 held in the French Republic. The Vietnamese national team had 5 students competing and all students won medals, including 1 gold medal and 4 silver medals.
The Gold Medal went to Nguyen The Quan, a 12th grade student at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Nghe An province.
The four Silver medals went to: Ly Ba Khoi and Truong Duc Dung, 12th graders, High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences (Hanoi); Nguyen Cong Vinh, 12th grader, Bac Ninh High School for the Gifted (Bac Ninh); Tran Le Thien Nhan, 12th grader, Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted (Hue City).
This top 10 achievement continues the impressive series of results that Vietnamese student delegations have achieved at international and regional Olympic competitions over the past many years. Last year, the Vietnamese team won 2 gold medals and 3 silver medals.
The 2025 International Physics Olympiad will be held in France from July 17 to July 25 with the participation of 94 delegations (including 5 observer delegations) from 94 countries and territories, along with 406 contestants. The exam consists of two official exam days: One day of theory and one 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-real-life phenomena, from the structure of hydrogen atoms to the structure of galaxies, from the oscillation of magnets to the formation of meteorite craters.
The problem of creating bubbles in a glass of champagne not only has profound physics meaning (related to pressure, acoustics, viscous friction, etc.) but is also a unique cultural highlight, bringing French culinary tradition into the IPhO exam.
The experimental exam consisted of two problems, requiring synthetic thinking and precise measurement skills; one involved “landing and moving safely, avoiding getting bogged down in sand dunes on the surface of Mars of the rover” and the other used a Gouy balance to measure magnetic moments, and was a meaningful reference to the French physicist Louis Georges Gouy, who made many contributions to the study of magnetism and optics, expressing gratitude to the French scientific heritage at the international exam held in his homeland.
The closing ceremony and announcement of the IPhO 2025 results will take place at 9:00 p.m. on July 24.
