Bulgarian students have won 4 medals at the International Chemistry Olympiad in Saudi Arabia, held from 21 to 30 July. They won one gold, one bronze and two silver medals.

The gold was won by 12th grader Victor Lilov, the Science Olympic Team Association said. The silver medals went to 12th graders Preslav Georgiev and Yavor Hristov, while the bronze medal went to 10th grader Nikola Ninkov.

The four medalists are from the Sofia Mathematical High School with supervisors from the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at Sofia University.
