Nguyễn Trung Thành sets record on Đường Lên Đỉnh Olympia

Nguyễn Trung Thành, a student from Quế Võ số 1 High School in Bắc Ninh, set a notable record during the 24th season of the academic competition ‘Đường Lên Đỉnh Olympia’.

During the ‘Obstacle Course’ segment of a match aired on November 12, 2023, Thành successfully identified the five-letter keyword ‘Ca dao’ just two seconds after the host began reading the first clue. He deduced the answer by combining the first clue—which concerned the poetic form of the poem ‘Việt Bắc’ by Tố Hữu—with the required letter count. This rapid response allowed him to take the lead with 120 points.
