Arthur Alencar Spuri, a 16-year-old student from Fortaleza, Brazil, has secured three international medals in the fields of Economics, Physics, and Astronomy.

In July, Spuri earned a gold medal at the International Economics Olympiad held in China, achieving the highest score in the competition's history. He also contributed to the Brazilian team's victory in the Business Case collective event. In a subsequent competition, he won a silver medal at the International Physics Olympiad in Colombia.

Most recently, Spuri earned a silver medal at the 19th International Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad in Hanoi, Vietnam. The competition required participants to solve complex theoretical and practical problems, including observations of Saturn and calculating the mass of a black hole. Spuri, a student at Colégio Farias Brito, aims to eventually study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.
