European Girls Mathematical Olympiad 2026: India’s Shreya Mundhada Wins Historic Gold
European Girls Mathematical Olympiad: Shreya Shantanu Mundhada from Mumbai has won a gold medal, creating history at the 14th European Girls Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO 2026).
Shreya Shantanu Mundhada of Mumbai created history when she became the first Indian girl to secure the gold medal at the 15th European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) 2026 in Bordeaux, France. The Indian team comprising four members did incredibly well, winning one gold, one silver, and one bronze medal. It is a huge feat for India in this international math contest for girls.
Unofficially, India's team ranks sixth among 67 countries, its best-ever ranking since the inception of this competition. This is India’s best-ever team ranking in the EGMO. "This year saw several outstanding performances on the part of our students in this major international mathematics competition," said HBCSE-TIFR, the body that selects India’s Olympic teams.
This was only India's second time participating in the EGMO with an all-female team. Previously, India has been participating in the EGMO as a guest nation since 2015, with the team always consisting of a male member. However, since last year, the entire team, including members and supervisors, has been all-female.
