3. Whereas in earlier Olympiads Americans shone mostly in track and field, in Paris they took the lead in almost every venue. 在往届奥运会上，美国人士多在田径项目上独领风骚，而在巴黎他们几乎在所有项目上居领先地位。
4. China has been participating since only 1985, which makes its record all the more impressive: it has won almost two-thirds of the Olympiads it has competed in. 直到1985年中国队才首次参与国际数学奥林匹克竞赛，所以创下的记录是令人印象深刻的：中国队几乎赢了三分之二参加过的比赛。
5. There are of course several other problem-solving books, such as Polya’s classic “How to solve it“, which I myself learnt from while competing at the Mathematics Olympiads. 当然还有其他关于数学解题的书，如数学教育家 Polya 的经典之作《如何解题》，我参加奥林匹克数学竞赛时曾从中获益非浅。
