🇮🇩 Danica Odelia

She finished sixth in a competition named for a continent her country is not on.

Gold for Indonesia at the 2026 European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad in Bordeaux, with 32 points out of 42.

The 2026 European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad was held in Bordeaux and drew 247 contestants. Danica Odelia of Indonesia finished sixth with 32 points out of 42 and took a gold medal. Only five contestants scored higher, four of them from China and one from India, and only one of the 247 wrote a perfect paper.

Sixth of 247

The scoreboard published by the organisers records Danica on 32 points, ten below the maximum of 42. Above her, in order: Huaijin Lou of China on a perfect 42, Ziyu Tang of China on 36, then Minqi Xu and Yuke Zhuo of China and Shreya Mundhada of India, all three on 35 and sharing joint third place.

Below her the table falls away quickly. Mălina-Carla Pavel of Romania took seventh on 30, Amber Li of Australia eighth on 28, Haruka Kimura of Japan ninth on 27, and six contestants shared joint tenth on 26. Danica's 32 sits alone in the order, in a band that no one else in the field reached.

A European olympiad with a global field

The competition's name describes its origins rather than its entry list. The 2026 top ten alone includes contestants from China, India, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, Canada, Croatia, Italy, Romania and Turkey, and the scoreboard records them all in one ranking rather than dividing European from invited teams.

That matters for reading a result like this one. Sixth place at the olympiad is sixth among everyone who sat the paper in Bordeaux, including the national programmes that dominate the top of the table. It is not a placing within a separate category for visiting countries.

Where the result comes from

The only source used for this page is the scoreboard published by the organisers of the competition. It gives the name, the country, the total, the rank and the medal for every contestant, and the marks behind it are settled by coordination between the jury and the team leaders before the table appears.

That is the strongest form documentation of a competition result takes, and it is also a very short document. It describes a performance on two mornings in April 2026 and says nothing whatever about the person who produced it.

What is documented — and what is not

Firm: 32 points of 42, sixth place, a gold medal, Indonesia as the country, and the 2026 olympiad in Bordeaux as the competition, in a field of 247.

Open: no age, birth year, school, city or photograph appears in the sources gathered here, and no Indonesian press coverage is among them. Nothing states how Danica was selected, whether she competed in earlier years, or what has happened since the competition. The research record notes that Indonesian coverage may exist under searches in Indonesian; none is cited on this page.

Why the placing is the story

Medals at olympiads are awarded in bands, so a gold medal is shared by a group of contestants whose scores can differ widely. A rank is not shared in the same way: sixth place in Bordeaux belongs to one person, and it is fixed against every other paper written that week.

It is also the kind of result that tends to vanish from the internet. Unless a national federation or a newspaper writes it up, the scoreboard is the only permanent trace, and the contestant is documented by a single line for as long as the page stays online. That is the case here, and this page reports no more than that line supports.
