All 10 members of Vietnam’s two teams won medals at the 19th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA 2026), securing six golds and four silvers.
The achievements placed Vietnam among the top seven-performing teams at this year’s Olympiad. It is also the first time that two Vietnamese contestants earned a perfect score of 30/30 in the theoretical examination, surpassing previous performances despite matching the team’s 2017 tally in terms of medal numbers.
The Vietnamese national team secured six silver medals and two bronze medals, achieving a 100% medal rate and placing Vietnam among the five delegations whose entire teams received medals, alongside the RoK, China, Taiwan (China) and Russia.
