Comment on In the Olympics of Algorithms, a Russian Keeps Winning Gold

Comments

Petr is no longer ranked #1 on popular competitive programming sites such as Topcoder [1] and Codesforce [2]. 18-year-old Gennady Korotkevich [3] from Belarus ranks better on both, and has also won the most medals in the International Olympiad in Informatics ever, he was awarded his first silver medal when he was 11.

Nonetheless, Petr is a legend in this field.

I would like to see him compete longer. His volatility is still somewhat high and he may sink below Petr yet.

Gennady is the student of Saint-Petersburg State University of Information Technology, Mechanics and Optics now
