Kazakh school students returned
victorious from a prestigious chemistry tournament in Saudi Arabia. At the 56th
International Chemistry Olympiad, four Kazakh students surpassed competitors
from 90 countries and secured the top three positions. Adilzhan Moldagul took
the third place, and Abylai Kabdulkhadyr was the second. Rinat Yeleussizov and
Kirill Kim, the students of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and
Mathematics in Astana, won gold medals. The winners were welcomed at Astana
International Airport by their classmates.
«I followed a systematic approach
to my preparation, gradually improving my level. The key to effective training
was consistency rather than intensity. Thus, I did not face any issues with it.
The most important aspect was to be persistent. Every day, I spent at least one
to two hours to study chemistry,» said Kim.
«For me, the Olympiad was
challenging, featuring various theoretical and practical tasks. No one knew
what to expect, but it was clear that they were different from those in previous
years,» said Kabdulkhadyr.
