The time has finally come...

Today, I congratulate TimDee on becoming the last ever grandmaster from Moldova! Over the years, I've witnessed him make enormous sacrifices and commitments in order to reach this goal: he became the undisputed champion of skipping school lessons to grind CSES instead, he attended a few math camps just to improve his focus during CF rounds. In an unexpected turn, he decided to participate in IMO just to meet some of his friends from IOI, despite having left mathematics for informatics only a few years prior. Throughout this journey, he maintained unshakable motivation, bouncing back stronger after each setback. Even after honorable participations at RMI '22 and IATI '22, he rose to the challenge, ultimately taking gold in both competitions.

Timur is an inspiration to every Moldovan. Although he has since left our country, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those preparing for upcoming olympiads.

I invite the Codeforces community to join me in celebrating this truly marvelous day!
