Today to the events in Rio, world attention. And this is understandable. Although after all these doping katavasov look on the TV screen, where the athletes jump, run, compete in strength and agility, with a dualistic feeling… Suggest you think about other Olympians, which, certainly, in any doping and any fraud won’t suspect a thing. They are fair, relying solely on their own strength and abilities, and achieve excellent results.
Only few know about them. Although in the future they can bring their country a great favor. It is about participants of international Olympiads in physics and mathematics, respectively, held recently in Switzerland and Hong Kong. There are young talents from Russia showed brilliant results!
Physical Olympics. It was conducted in two phases: experimental and theoretical, it was attended by students from more than 80 countries of the world.
The highest award was won by Nikolay Alexander Artemyev, Muscovite Ilya Kochergin, Permyakov Vasily Yugov, Ivan Uteshev from Saransk. Silver Russia brought Maxim Eliseev, also from Saransk.
I should add that Artemyev showed the best result in the world on the theory, for which he received the prize among school children, established by the European physical society (EPS).
On mathematical Olympiad gold medals were won by Muscovites Gregory Urgin, Ruslan Salimov, Ivan Frolov and the St. Paul Gubkin. Silver asset Nikita karagodina, also from the city on the Neva, the bronze George Vepreva from Rybinsk. Bravo, guys!
So whose awards for country is more important than athletes or physicists, and mathematicians? I will Express a point of view from which, perhaps, not all agree.
The success of an athlete is only the satisfaction from the done work, the fruits of intensive training, delight to the soul and fleeting joy for the fans. Maybe someone from ambitious parents want to give their child in the sports section – what is also will become an Olympic champion?
The success of athletes certainly enhance the prestige of the country, but they are fleeting, and local. But the victory of young scientists is proud of the awareness that is still “can own Platonov and quick mind Newtons Russian earth bring forth”.
And growing confidence that the country is not dry scientific potential, and in the near future we can be proud of not only the great discoveries of the past, but real, perfected in the twenty-first century. This means that Russia can become an advanced scientific power, and to export abroad, not only oil, gas and military equipment and “smart” machines, precision machines and high technology. Maybe you will finally stop and the brain” brain” to the West, which has continued for many years.
Olympic athletes on everyone’s lips and everywhere in sight. Talk about them, write them cherished. During doping of the persecution they stood for the whole country, before flying to Rio they are admonished in the Kremlin the President of the country. Surely after the Olympics, the head of state there will winners and awarded them with valuable gifts.
Talented pupils well, no one walked solemnly and with reverence are not met. And publications in the press about their impressive victory gained quite a bit, and they were concise. Journalists why-that considered this news not worthy of special attention. Maybe from what they are accustomed to the dirty squabbles, questionable sensationalism and I think they are the main news?
