Four students from the China IOI team participated (https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/125488) in IOI 2024. However, in the standings (https://stats.ioinformatics.org/results/2024), one member, Jiyu Shen, had no points at all. Why?
I thought China wins four gold medals every year..
they were caught with phones switched on
One had his phone switched on but the other two had their phones in the bag switched off.
Is it allowed to bring up phones to the contest area? Usually, organizers check everything, how is that possible then?
I don’t know bruh, but that’s the official explanation given by the ISC.
they should have checked phones before the Olympiad! It's not fair absolutely!
He is a LGM on CF. What is the reason to cancel him:((?
That in and of itself does not really guarantee anything. The participants most likely had been instructed not to bring their phones.
