Vietnam's team came second
overall, just after the U.S.
which won four gold medals.
The Vietnamese team has claimed
the second spot at the International Chemistry Olympiad this year by winning
three gold and one silver medals, their best achievement ever.
A source from the education
ministry said all four Vietnamese students sent to the contest in Thailand have
earned high scores.
Dinh Quang Hieu, a 12th-grader
from Hanoi,
scored 92 out of 100 which put him in the top 10 of nearly 300 contestants. The
other gold winners ranked 20 and 21.
Hieu was also one of two gold
medal winners in the Vietnamese team last year.
Although the final ranking this
year has not been announced, the Vietnamese team is claiming the second spot,
together with China.
American students dominate the contest with four gold medals, according to the
ministry.
Vietnamese students have fared
well in chemistry this year.
At the national high school
graduation exam last month, 1,520 chemistry papers scored the perfect 10 out of
10, the highest number out of all nine subjects. English came second with 996
faultless papers.
