ICPC Baku World Finals Alumni Event: I invite you to a push-up challenge!

Hello, Codeforces.

Today I arrived in Baku for the ICPC World Finals. The very first participant I met asked me if we would be doing push-ups.

Yes! This year I decided to repeat the fun event and I invite you to join the push-up challenge. It will take place on September 3rd at 18:00. The best performer will receive a prize from Codeforces! And everyone in the top 25 will get a souvenir.

If you're not ready to do push-ups, come anyway to cheer for your friends and have fun!

We'll repeat last year's format: push-ups in rounds of 25. Gradually, people will start dropping out. Whoever does the most total push-ups will be the winner! In other words, they'll hold the title of Push-up World Champion according to the ICPC World Finals version :-)

There will definitely be a livestream on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mikemirzayanov/. Join us online to cheer!

See you there!

On September 3rd at 18:00

I wish I were like Mike, the super strong Mike, the one with so much aura Mike.

I wish I were more Mike than Mike, the one who sets CF rounds Mike, the one who manages headquarters Mike.

I friended Mike, the OG Mike, we should all be like Mike.

I looked for a while wondering if I visited the wrong website. Push-ups on Codeforces? How would I come up with such a dream -

Wait it's true.
