Siblings Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tho and Nguyen Ngoc Khanh make Olympia history

Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tho and Nguyen Ngoc Khanh have become the only siblings in the 20-year history of the Đường Lên Đỉnh Olympia academic competition to both reach the annual year-end final.

Representing Nguyen Tat Thanh High School for the Gifted, both siblings achieved the exact same result: a third-place finish with 200 points. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tho competed in the fifth season of the program, while her brother, Nguyen Ngoc Khanh, competed in the twelfth season.

Both siblings come from a family with a strong academic background, with a father working as an electrical engineer and a mother as a worker. They share a particular passion for mathematics, with both having earned various provincial and national awards in the subject.
