🇺🇸 Angela Liu

Joint sixth in Georgia, seventh in Kosovo: Angela Liu's two gold medals, and the problem of a common name.

What the official EGMO scoreboards attribute to the United States contestant, and nothing more.

Angela Liu won gold at the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad in two consecutive years for the United States. The 2024 scoreboard from Tskaltubo, Georgia, records 36 points out of 42 and a shared sixth place. The 2025 scoreboard from Prishtina, Kosovo, records 34 points and seventh. Those two lines are the whole of the documented record.

Two golds on the official scoreboards

EGMO publishes a full results table for each edition, listing every contestant by national code with her marks on six problems, her total out of 42, her rank and her medal. Liu appears on two of them under the United States.

In 2024 she scored 36 and shared sixth place. In 2025 she scored 34 and placed seventh. Both entries carry gold. Two points separate the totals and one place separates the ranks, which is about as stable as an olympiad career gets across two different problem sets.

The tie at sixth

The 2024 result was a three-way finish on 36 points: Liu for the United States, Netta Ilani for Israel and Irem Gulce Yazgan for Turkey, all sharing the rank of sixth and all awarded gold.

Ties of that kind are built into the format. Every problem is marked out of seven, so the possible totals are few and the table clusters. The scoreboard leaves shared placings as they fall rather than splitting them by any tiebreak.

A common name, and what it means for the record

Angela Liu is a common name, and that is a genuine obstacle to biography rather than a footnote. The sources used here attach the name to a specific contestant on two specific scoreboards, competing for the United States in 2024 and 2025.

Nothing on this page should be read as applying to any other person of the same name. No school, birth year, home town or photograph has been matched to the EGMO entry in the sources consulted, and no Wikipedia article on this contestant was found. Search results that pair the name with other achievements have not been verified as the same person and are therefore left out entirely.

The United States at the girls' olympiad

American contestants are a recurring presence at the top of these tables. The 2023 scoreboard from Portoroz in Slovenia lists Isabella Zhu, Jessica Wan and Vivian Loh, all of the United States, among the fourteen contestants who scored a perfect 42 that year.

The competition's name refers to its origins rather than its entry list, and the presence of United States, Australian, Chinese and Japanese names on the same scoreboards is the clearest evidence of that. A top-ten finish at EGMO is a placing in an international field.

Why two golds is the harder result

The olympiad relocates every year and writes a new set of six problems for each edition, moving across the years documented here from Slovenia to Georgia to Kosovo. A returning contestant carries over nothing but her preparation.

She must also be selected a second time in a national process that restarts each season. Liu's record of joint sixth then seventh, two years apart and under those conditions, describes a level of consistency that a single medal cannot establish. The scoreboards say nothing about how she prepared, and neither does this page.
