Thirty points, seventh place
The scoreboard published by the organisers gives Pavel a total of 30 out of a possible 42 and an unshared seventh place. Above her the order runs: Huaijin Lou of China on 42, Ziyu Tang of China on 36, Minqi Xu and Yuke Zhuo of China and Shreya Mundhada of India on 35, and Danica Odelia of Indonesia on 32.
Below her the table tightens. Amber Li of Australia took eighth on 28 and Haruka Kimura of Japan ninth on 27, and then six contestants arrived together on 26 to share joint tenth. Two points covered eighth and ninth; four points covered seventh to tenth.
Two Romanians in the top ten
Pavel was not the only contestant from her country in the leading group. Aida Mitroi of Romania was among the six who finished on 26 and shared joint tenth place. Teams at the olympiad number at most four contestants, so placing two of them inside the top ten of a 247-strong field is a national result as much as an individual one.
The scoreboard does not report team standings on the page used here, and this record does not infer one. What it shows is the individual order, and in that order Romania appears twice in the first ten lines.
The competition and its field
The 2026 olympiad was held in Bordeaux, France, and its entry list reaches well beyond Europe: the top ten alone contains contestants from China, India, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, Canada, Croatia, Italy, Romania and Turkey. Scores run to a maximum of 42, and in 2026 exactly one contestant reached it.
Marks are settled by coordination between the jury and the team leaders before the scoreboard is published, so the totals are agreed figures rather than provisional ones. The result is a primary document, published by the body that ran the competition.
What is documented — and what is not
Firm: 30 points of 42, seventh place, a gold medal, Romania as the country, and the 2026 olympiad in Bordeaux as the competition.
Open: no age, birth year, school, city or photograph is published in the sources gathered here, and no Romanian press coverage is among them. Nothing on this page states how Pavel was selected, whether she competed in earlier editions, or what she has done since April 2026. The research record lists Malina-Carla Pavel as an unaccented form of the name, which is how it may appear in some listings.
What a place in the top ten represents
Every contestant in Bordeaux arrived through a national selection process, which in most countries runs through several rounds of competition and a training camp before a team of four is chosen. The field is therefore not a sample of young mathematicians; it is the end of a filter applied across dozens of countries.
Against that, seventh is a precise position rather than a broad category. Gold medals at the olympiad are distributed in a band and shared by many contestants, but only one person finished seventh in Bordeaux in 2026, and the scoreboard will continue to record which one.
