Dominic Yeo was the highest scoring of the six British team members who represented the UK in the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad, taking place in Rhodes from 26th April to 2nd May. Scoring valuable marks in each of the four questions tackled, he won a Silver medal for his performance, the rest of the team achieving four Bronze medals between them. This is a prestigious competition involving teams from Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries in that region. The UK was invited to send a guest team to this competition (see here for further details)
