The first to be announced is the third place winner.
Mr. Stevens read aloud: "The team that won the third place in the team award in this international mathematics competition is country A!"
Country A? The whole audience was stunned, and they were a little surprised, because the A country team won the runner-up in the last competition, and this time they came to compete for the championship. Unexpectedly, they failed to compete for the championship, and instead fell one place and became the third runner-up.
Everyone looked at the faces of the members of National Team A and found that they did not look good.
Mr. Stevens continued: "The No. 1 player of National Team A, Balk Keith, scored 178 points in the written examination, 86 points in free explanation, and the total score is 264 points. The No. 2 player of National Team A, Tohti Domi Nick, with a written test score of 180 points, a free explanation score of 85 points, and a total score of 265 points, is the No. 3 member of National Team A..."
He read out the names and results of the five members of National Team A one by one, and finally announced the overall score.
"To sum up, the overall score of Team A is 1365 points. Please come to the stage to receive the award!" Mr. Stevens said with a smile.
The five members of Team A stood up and walked onto the stage with expressionless faces. There was no joy on their faces.
Mr. Stevens continued: "Next, we will announce the team that won the runner-up for the team award in this National Mathematics Competition. It is the National Team D!"
The audience burst into applause. Last time, the D country team was the third runner-up. It is obviously an improvement to get the runner-up this time, but it is still a bit of a pity. After all, they are only one step away from the championship.
"The No. 1 member of Team D, Hood Christian, scored 190 points in the written test, and scored 88 points in free explanation, with a total score of 278. The No. 2 player in Team D, Patty Frank, scored 185 points in the written test. The free explanation score is 90 points, the total score is 275 points, and the No. 3 member of the D national team..."
"To sum up, the overall score of Team D is 1388 points."
As soon as the results of all the participating members of Team D were announced, everyone present immediately started talking.
"No wonder members No. 1 and 2 of Team D are math geniuses who became famous at a young age. They were able to get such high scores. They even won individual awards. They are really amazing!"
"But didn't the member of the Chinese team get full marks in the written test? If she won the first prize in the individual award, her score must be higher than theirs, but I don't know how many points she got for her free explanation?"
"It shouldn't be very high, because I heard that she got the Riemann Hypothesis in the free explanation session. She probably raised her score because of her written test scores, so she beat Christian and Frank."
"It's such a pity for Team D this time. If they could solve the last question, maybe the championship would be theirs."
Stevens was all smiles.
"Please invite all members of the runner-up national team D to come on stage!"
The members of Team D did not move. They were stunned, especially Christian and Frank. Why? Obviously two of their national team D got the top five results, but they were only the runner-up in the team competition.
If they are the runner-up, who can score higher than them and win the championship? Could it be that the last champion team E, the national team, defended the title?
At this moment, maybe all the participating team members think so.
"It's okay. We can get one, the first prize individually, which is pretty good." Yu Qi looked at everyone's somewhat disappointed faces and consoled them.
Why isn't he feeling disappointed? But Yu Qi still doesn't dare to think about the position of champion. After all, there are S national team, R national team, and even the previous champion E national team. It shouldn't be their Chinese national team, right?
Everyone was a little disappointed, but Su Qingyun's eyes flashed with light. The final results had not been announced yet, and everything was unknown. She felt that their Chinese team had no chance.
"Let's go on stage." Frank sighed. Although he failed to win the championship, he finished second behind Country E. This result was acceptable to them.
Christian tried his best to smile, and the five members of Team D stood on the stage.
Next, is the most exciting championship. Everyone craned their necks, fearing that they had heard something wrong. The reporters were refreshed. The highlight was coming. The winner of this International Mathematics Competition was announced.
Mr. Stevens did not show off and said directly: "The team that won the championship of this International Mathematics Competition is..."
He paused and glanced across the audience. Everyone's hearts were lifted. Although he had little to do with most of them, the tense atmosphere still infected everyone at this moment.
“China’s representative team!”
When Stevens said the name of the Chinese national team, it was like a thunder exploded in the clear sky, and everyone was shocked! There was a buzz in his head, and he lost the ability to think. He opened his mouth wide with a look of disbelief.
No one spoke, and the whole place was so silent that there was not even a sound.
China, how could the champion be China?
Are they crazy, or is the world crazy?
"How could it be the Chinese national team? Did the organizing committee make a mistake?"
"God, if the Chinese team is the champion, wouldn't it mean that the E country team not only failed to defend the championship, but also failed to win the top three? This is simply Waterloo for the E country team!"
"The face of Team D has changed. Don't forget, there is still a bet between Team China and Team D."
"The face of Team A is very ugly. Who would have thought that the Chinese team, which was not even ranked in the previous mathematics competition, actually won the championship this time. There is simply nothing more incredible than this."
"What did the Chinese team rely on to win the championship? Could it be that it was Su Qingyun who got full marks in a written test?"
"Let's listen to the results of the Chinese national team announced by Mr. Stevens first."
The moment Christian and Frank heard the words of China from Stevens's mouth, they were like a thunderbolt, their whole bodies were numb, and they felt as if someone had poured cold water on them from head to toe. He was cold and his face turned pale.
Did the Chinese team win the championship? This is simply the funniest joke they have ever heard! That's the Chinese team. The Chinese team has always lagged behind in mathematics. That's the Chinese team that they have always looked down upon!
How could they win the championship!
Just now, Christian, who was still convinced in his heart that the Chinese team could not beat their D-country team, stood on the stage, almost crumbling. The dense crowd of people in the audience flickered in and out of his eyes. The most terrifying thing was in front of him. When it gets dark, I'm about to faint.
All the media reporters present were going crazy. The Chinese team won the championship! This is simply the most unexpected thing in this competition. This result was unexpected by everyone present.
All the cameras were focused on the Chinese team.
