“…Nevertheless, from the perspective of the participants, there was simultaneously a "brain gain" effect, or an "incentive effect for uneducated agents to be educated to take profit of higher returns of education abroad" (Beine et al, 2014, p. 41), as the quality of the experience that is necessary for the optimal development of one's mathematical talent may not be readily accessible without moving to a foreign country. It is noteworthy that a brain gain effect has previously been recognized with International Mathematical Olympians from other countries such as Korea (Choi, 2013).…”

This study investigated the educational and career experiences of former Australian Olympians after their participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad. For this purpose, 15 former Olympians were engaged in interviews about how they developed their mathematical talent at university, how they selected their careers, and how they developed their mathematical talent within their careers. Thematic analysis was undertaken on the collected data. The resulting themes provided useful insights into the reasoning behind the selection of one’s area of study, the nature of the study experience, the factors considered in the career decision, and the nature of mathematical development in one’s career. Among other conclusions, the study suggested the applicability of two theories (i.e., the theory of work adjustment and the megamodel of talent development) in understanding the educational/career decisions of this group, the need for more systematic gifted education provisions within tertiary settings, and a prominent “brain drain” effect.

“…The aim of implementing IMO is to discover, inspire and challenge students to understand mathematics better in an international setting. In that way, bonds of international friendship were ensured between mathematicians from all the participating countries, and created opportunities for the exchange and dissemination of mathematics in general (Choi, 2009;Jung & Lee, 2021). This is a great opportunity for students to develop mathematics widely.…”

The concept of the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) in learning mathematics in the classroom is something that can inspire students by structuring didactic proposals. This study aims to present a didactic proposal from the perspective of the International Mathematics Olympiad , using digital technology, particularly the GeoGebra software to be included in the mathematics Olympiad discipline. For theoretical studies, the analysis of the mathematical elements of the structured images in the GeoGebra software and the identification of their properties is included, through the structuring of the Olympic teaching situation, which allows the subject to seek solutions to the posed mathematical problems. olympics and validating the teaching of geometry. This study describes the arrangements made to build Olympic math objects that will be applied by math teachers. The research methodology is based on bibliographic reviews from authors such as Alves, Santiago, Almouloud and Brousseau. It is proven that the GeoGebra software helps in the elaboration of mathematical examples and problem solving situations.
