Three Phillips Exeter Academy students — Alex Song, Ray Y. Li, and Kevin C. Sun — shocked the world when they respectively won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the 54th International Mathematical Olympiad in Santa Marta, Colombia.
While the U.S. team placed third overall — Song competed on Team Canada — the trio won the medals for individual performance.
The annual competition is a six question, two day, nine hour proof competition with competitors from over 100 countries on 9 continents.

From Wikipedia:
Phillips Exeter Academy (also known as Exeter, Phillips Exeter, or PEA) is an American private college preparatory school for boarding and day students between the 9th and 12th grade. It is a large co-educational school, with over 1,000 students. It was founded in 1781 by John Phillips, a wealthy American merchant and early patron of schools.
Exeter is located in Exeter, New Hampshire, capital of the state during the American Revolutionary War, in the historic New England region, and is one of the oldest secondary schools in the United States.
It is a member of the Ten Schools Admissions Organization, founded by ten leading American private preparatory schools in 1956, as well as the global G20 Schools group.

These questions are obviously biased against people of color, how about problems like:
DeShawn has an AK-47 with an 80-round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive-by shooting, how many drive-by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?
What? No Trayvon in the list of winners?
Why aren’t Sharpton and his friends screaming bloody murder to get inner city minority kids into THAT place?

This is an INTERNATIONAL math competition. Kids in some countries probably have never seen an AK-47 or even know what it is.
Thankfully the ChiComs continue to drive people with brains straight out of that country.
The story is wrong. They didn’t take first, second and third. They won medals from a certain level of performance.
How did Sum Ting Wong do?
