A double achievement has been recorded at the Improvis Olympic Center:
From January 10 to 15, 2026, at the 22nd Zhautykov International Olympiad held in Almaty, Kazakhstan, two students of the Improvis Olympic Center were awarded bronze medals in Informatics:

• Harutyun Hakobyan (Photon Lyceum, Grade 12)
• Mamikon Hambaryan (Gyumri Secondary School No. 41, Grade 9)
   

This success is particularly significant for the Shirak region: for the first time, two students representing the region at an international olympiad have both won bronze medals, repeating the result achieved by students of the Improvis Olympic Center in 2021. 
It is also noteworthy that among the 10 students selected through the Armenian national selection round, 4 were students of the Improvis Olympic Center, meaning that Gyumri accounted for 40% of the total participants for the first time.
We warmly congratulate Harutyun and Mamikon, as well as their coaches Gevorg Boyakhchyan and Davit Engoyan, who not only successfully prepared the students for this challenging competition and brought us this joyful victory, but also led the participation of the Improvis Olympic Center’s student team in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
We would also like to note that, emphasizing the importance of Shirak region students’ participation in international olympiads, the Improvis Olympic Center has, for the third consecutive year, enabled a team formed from Shirak region students to participate in the annual Zhautykov Olympiad held in Kazakhstan.
