Hi coders,↵
↵
I have always felt curious about how the IMO/IOI/Nutellas and all academic-successful people are doing in their life. What awesome things they have been contributing to the world? Or about the seemingly-impossible things they have overcome. Such as the story about someone who won the IOI in 2020 with a perfect score despite his own country effort to stop him. Or a certain IOI medalist ended up creating the world's best QA platform called Quora. ↵
↵
I am sure those stories will be very inspiring for the next generations of coders. ↵
↵
Do you happen to know any online tracker for that?↵
↵
Update 1: I put the raw data here first. If there are many, I'll create a Wiki article for it.↵
↵
Update 2: Wow, the Vietnamese CPers are great. Come on, everyone. Where are you? Is there no story from your country?↵
