Albania achieved a historic result at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO 2026) in Shanghai, with the national team winning two bronze medals and one honourable mention.

Prime Minister Edi Rama announced the achievement on social media and congratulated the Albanian students for their success in the prestigious international competition.

Students Marius Gjika and Jamarbër Rushitaj won bronze medals, while Orest Sherko received an Honourable Mention.

Rama said this marks Albania’s second-best result in the history of its participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad, which began in 1993, based on the total points collected by the national team.

“This is a historic result for Albania at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad, thanks to the outstanding mathematical minds of our students,” Rama wrote.

The performance of the Albanian team at IMO 2026 represents another major achievement for talented students in mathematics and strengthens Albania’s presence in international science competitions.
