Sofia, 13-14.05.2006

The 18th Republican Student Olympiad for Programming took place in New Bulgarian University on 13th and 14th of May. 22 three-member teams, from nine leading Bulgarian universities or altogether 66 competitors, represented the elite among the Bulgarian students.

First place was attained by one of the Sofia University teams, comprised by Slavi Marinov, Anton Dimitrov and Angel Jigarov, with tutor Krasimir Dobrev. Sofia University leaded in the official final position of all universities as well, leaving decisively behind the rest of the participants.

Two of the competitors in the team are programmers from Musala Soft. Slavi Marinov is the former editor-in-chief of the on-line magazine - "Infoman", edited by Musala Soft and Anton Dimitrov is the present. Both are holders of various personal awards from international school Informatics forums. Their colleague from the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics in Sofia University - Angel Jigarov, has few medals won from school Olympiads for programming. This year Jigarov took first place in the final round of the most prestigious private programming contest in Bulgaria, organized by PC Magazine Bulgaria and Musala Soft, as well.

The competition between the first four teams of Sofia University was strongly disputed and the difference in the final results - quite small. The last minutes were decisive for the contest results. After the Olympiad the participants commented that the competition was on a very high level and the challenge to compare knowledge with the best was one of the main reasons to participate.

Sponsors of the Olympiad were Bianor, Fadata and Musala Soft as well as the Bulgarian Association of Sotware Companies - BASSCOM

"I'm really happy with the achievements of our boys! Six of the participants in the Olympiad work in Musala Soft. Once again they demonstrated their perfect training and good competitive condition. I'm proud that the employees of Musala Soft are among the best. We'll continue to support young Bulgarian talents in the field of programming and I hope that the government will not neglect one of the priority sectors in our economy - the IT sector. This is our strength and the achievements of Bulgarian programmers prove that." - stated Elena Marinova, President of Musala Soft.
