Today is one of those rare moments in competitive programming history that feels bigger than just numbers on a profile page.

Huge congratulations to jiangly and tourist for reaching the unbelievable milestone of 4000 Codeforces rating.

For years, these two have represented the absolute peak of algorithmic problem solving. Not just because they win contests — but because of the consistency, creativity, speed, and elegance they bring every single time they compete.

When most of us struggle to solve one hard problem during a contest, they casually turn impossible-looking tasks into clean implementations under pressure. Watching them compete has inspired an entire generation of programmers.

What makes this milestone special is that 4000 once felt completely unreachable. Even 3000 used to seem mythical. But legends keep redefining the ceiling.

tourist showed the world what long-term dominance looks like. jiangly pushed modern contest performance to another level entirely.

Different styles. Different eras. Same greatness.

Beyond ratings and rankings, they have contributed enormously to the competitive programming community through editorials, discussions, open-source libraries, streams, and pure inspiration.

Thousands of programmers started practicing harder after watching their contests. Thousands more learned how to think from reading their code.

This is not just a personal achievement for two coders. It is a historic moment for competitive programming itself.

Thank you, tourist. Thank you, jiangly.

And congratulations on 4000. Absolutely deserved.
