Speaking from my own experience — on the first day of the competition, I climbed to 4th place in the overall ranking and was very close to winning a gold medal. Unfortunately, on the second day, I faced unexpected technical issues with the Ubuntu operating system and had to switch to Windows 10. This sudden change caused difficulties in a critical challenge, and I lost 40 points — even though the task I was working on was worth at least 45 points. Despite this, I secured a Silver Medal and proudly represented my country on the international stage. 💻🌐 This success would not have been possible without the professionalism, effort, and unwavering support of our teachers. I congratulate my teammates and promise to give my all in future competitions to achieve even greater victories for our nation! 🚀🇦🇿 Together we are stronger — and we are moving confidently toward the future! 🚀
