They competed against 360 athletes from 90 countries. All four students - tenth graders Boris Mihov and Alexander Gatev from the Sofia High School of Mathematics and twelfth grader Atanas Dimitrov and tenth grader Veselin Markovic from the Varna High School of Mathematics - returned with bronze medals.
