On October 13, the final round of the Road to Olympia 2024 competition took place. This was a competition between four climbers, including: Vo Quang Phu Duc (Quoc Hoc High School for the Gifted - Thua Thien Hue); Nguyen Nguyen Phu (Hanoi National University of Education High School for the Gifted); Tran Trung Kien (Le Hong Phong High School - Phu Yen) and Nguyen Quoc Nhat Minh (Hung Vuong High School for the Gifted - Gia Lai).
In the end, with his excellence, Vo Quang Phu Duc won the laurel wreath with 220 points, Nguyen Phu ranked second with 215 points, Trung Kien 145 points and Nhat Minh 85 points. It can be said that this championship is very worthy for Vo Quang Phu Duc, but it is also very regretful for Nguyen Nguyen Phu.

However, the final question of the contest (a 30-point question in the field of Mathematics) belonged to Nhat Minh. At this point, Trung Kien and Nhat Minh had determined that they no longer had a chance to compete for the championship.
Only Phu Duc is left in the lead with 235 points; right behind is Nguyen Phu with 215 points and has a chance.
That means if Nhat Minh cannot answer this question, the chance of winning is still open to both Phu Duc and Nguyen Phu.
If Nguyen Phu answers correctly, he will be the champion of Olympia 2024 with a score of 245.
If both Phu Duc and Nguyen Phu cannot answer; or Phu Duc answers correctly, the laurel wreath will belong to Phu Duc.
As expected, in this question when Nhat Minh had no answer. Immediately Phu Duc pressed the bell tactically and won the right to answer. Phu Duc immediately jumped up to celebrate happily, because he knew that even if he answered wrong, he would still win. Because being wrong only deducted 15 points, Phu Duc still had 220, 5 points more than Nguyen Phu.
And then, Phu Duc gave an answer that was not on point but still won the laurel wreath.
After the emotional victory, on social networks as well as some big Fanpages, there were many controversial opinions about the decisive situation of the competition. The harsh people said that the male student from Thua Thien Hue had to use tactics to win the championship. Some even said that Phu Duc played a "trick" by not giving Nguyen Phu a chance to compete fairly until the end.
However, many people think that Phu Duc made a very smart decision, was extremely alert and very knowledgeable about the rules of the game… so he was quicker to win the right to answer the last question.
The Hue native himself revealed after the contest that, in the last question, he and Nguyen Phu were 20 points apart. So, he set up a strategy of “winning the bell”, if he answered correctly, there was nothing to discuss, but if he answered incorrectly, he would only lose 15 points. He still won the championship.

However, if anyone criticizes and is not satisfied with this result, then look at the whole final match. At that time, Vo Quang Phu Duc was very excellent when he continuously led the "mountain climbing team" and showed that he was "out of his class" from the Warm-up round (75 points) then the Obstacle Course (135 points), Acceleration (235 points) and Finish (220 points).
Remember, the Road to Olympia program is just a competition, and as a competition, there will be winners and losers. In addition to talent, learning ability, and social understanding, the champion must also have a little wisdom and know how to apply tactics. Along with that, Vo Quang Phu Duc's talent has also been proven through the previous rounds until the final. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the victory of this Hue student is completely deserved.
Sharing after the competition, this male student also said that his life will definitely change. For now, Phu Duc will take time to rest, studying abroad "will be decided next year". If he stays in Vietnam, this student plans to study Artificial Intelligence at VinUni University.
The future of the 2024 Olympia champion is very open, the online community should not, because of a little hesitation in the last question, unintentionally put pressure on and deny the talent and efforts of this student in the entire competition. Perhaps instead of being perfectionist in a competition, let's send our congratulations and hope that this Hue boy will be a bright talent of the country in the near future.
