Reading the scoreboard backwards
Raw totals at an olympiad mean little without the paper. In 2024 Mitroi scored 35 out of 42 and finished twentieth in a tie. In 2026 she scored 26 and finished tenth. The nine-point drop is a statement about the problems, not about the competitor.
This is why olympiad results are read as ranks first and scores second. A problem committee can shift the entire distribution by ten points with a single unusually hard geometry question, and every contestant's total moves with it. The only stable measure is where a contestant stands relative to everyone who sat the same paper on the same morning.
Three golds
In 2024 at Tskaltubo, Georgia, her scores were 7, 7, 6, 7, 7, 1 — five essentially complete solutions and a serious attempt at the third. In 2025 at Prishtina, Kosovo, 7, 7, 1, 7, 7, 0 for a total of 29 and fourteenth place. In 2026 at Bordeaux, France, 7, 3, 2, 7, 7, 0 for 26 and tenth.
In all three years the first, fourth and fifth problems came out cleanly. Gold every time, from a national team that has been among the strongest in European olympiad mathematics for generations — which means she also had to win a place on that team three years in succession, against a domestic field as deep as most countries' international ones.
What EGMO is
The European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad follows the IMO format: six problems over two days, each marked out of seven, a maximum of 42, teams of four per country. It was established to broaden the route into elite competitive mathematics, where girls have been underrepresented at national team level.
The scoreboards are the official record, published contestant by contestant and problem by problem. They are the only source this page needs, and the only one it uses for her results.
The sixth problem
One line recurs in her record: a zero on problem six in both 2025 and 2026. Problem six is traditionally the hardest on the paper, set to separate the top handful of contestants in the world from everyone else, and in most years the great majority of the field scores nothing on it.
That is what makes a gold medal in this competition a statement about the other five problems. Mitroi solved the first, fourth and fifth completely in all three years — consistency across three separate problem committees, three countries and three different sets of examiners.
What is documented — and what is not
Documented by the official EGMO scoreboards: gold in 2024, 2025 and 2026; totals of 35, 29 and 26; ranks of twentieth, fourteenth and tenth, each shared with other contestants; and her scores on each problem.
Not documented in these sources: her age, her birth year, her school, her city, her coaches and her plans after the olympiad. The scoreboards carry names, countries, scores and medals, and this page does not go beyond them.

Questions people ask about Aida Mitroi
What has Aida Mitroi won?
Gold medals at the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad in 2024, 2025 and 2026, representing Romania.
Did her performance decline?
No. Her totals fell from 35 to 26, but her world rank improved from twentieth to tenth, which indicates harder papers rather than a weaker contestant.
How old is Aida Mitroi?
The EGMO scoreboards do not publish ages, and the sources used here give none.
How is EGMO scored?
Six problems over two days, each marked out of seven, for a maximum of 42 points, with teams of four per country.
Why did she score zero on problem six?
Problem six is traditionally the hardest on the paper. Most of the field scores nothing on it in most years.
Where was EGMO held in those years?
Tskaltubo in Georgia in 2024, Prishtina in Kosovo in 2025, and Bordeaux in France in 2026.
Is Aida Mitroi on Wikipedia?
The research record finds no article under her name. Her results are published on the official EGMO scoreboards.
What is EGMO for?
It was founded to widen the path into elite competitive mathematics, where girls have long been underrepresented on national olympiad teams.
