The Vietnamese team ranked third in the medal tally, after China and Russia. This is the highest achievement of the Vietnamese students who have competed at the APIO in the past 10 years.

The three gold medallists were Truong Van Quoc Bao, from Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted in Nghe An Province, along with Duong Minh Khoi and Tran Xuan Bach, both from the Hanoi University of Science’s High School for Gifted Students.
