Comment on 14-year-old Belarusian wins International Olympiad in Informatics

Although this guy is young, he's been at it several times. He is likely one of the most experienced among contestants.

I think it is a good example of 'practice makes perfect' and '10,000-hour rule' for world-class expertise building. (If you count all the hours with math training as well--though I don't know how much time he spent on math & com sci together.)
