The three gold medals went to 12th graders, including Nguyen The Quan from Phan Boi Chau High School for Gifted Students in north-central Nghe An Province, Nguyen Cong Vinh from Bac Ninh High School for Gifted Students in the namesake northern province, and Truong Duc Dung from the High School for Gifted Students of the University of Science under the Vietnam National University-Hanoi.
The silver medalists are also 12th-grade students, including Ly Ba Khoi from the High School for Gifted Students of the University of Science under the Vietnam National University-Hanoi, Tran Le Thien Nhan from Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted in the namesake central city, and Phan Quang Triet from Phan Boi Chau High School for Gifted Students in Nghe An Province.
Tran Trung Hieu, a 12th-grade student from Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted, and Nguyen Ngoc Phuong Anh, a 12th-grade student from Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, each received a bronze medal.
The 25th Asian Physics Olympiad took place from May 4 to 12 in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, with 30 delegations from 29 countries and territories, and 208 contestants.
Students completed two five-hour exams: a theoretical exam and a practical exam.
This year’s theoretical exam featured modern and practical applications of physics such as: the precession of Earth's axis affecting global climate, spin waves related to quantum computers, and the greenhouse effect.
The practical exam was about electromagnetic induction and its applications in induction cookers.
Vietnam ranked among the top five delegations alongside China, South Korea, Taipei, and Russia.
In 2024, the Vietnamese team earned one gold, one silver, and six bronze medals.
