More from Iwona Lejman
Filip Wolski came first amongst some fifty thousand young IT specialists from around the world. That’s how many entered the elimination round to the World Computer Science Contest. During the finals in Mexico, the Pole competed against several hundred students from eighty countries.
The competition lasted two days during which they were to solve and encode several mathematical problems prepared by the world’s top universities. Filip, 19, became the youngest person and the first Pole to win the contest. Filip is this year’s graduate of a high school in Gdynia on the Baltic coast.
Gold medal, a competition 2005, USA |
Polish representatives had been very close to victory many times in previous years. It is only Filip who proved strong enough to come ahead of all the competitors. Those from Korea Japan and the United States were close behind. IT teacher Ryszard Szubartowski had worked with Filip preparing him for the competition.
It’s one of the most difficult contests in the world, but we really counted on Filip’s success. He had taken part in it 4 times before and last year was already very close to winning. So, it had to happen.
Back home, he’s expected to be given a hero’s welcome. He’s still in Mexico, enjoying a well-deserved holiday on the Mexican coast.
