We Returned Home from ICO2025 with Medals

✨🇦🇿 WE RETURNED HOME WITH MEDALS! 🇦🇿✨

From June 22 to 28, we had the honor of representing Azerbaijan at the International Cybersecurity Olympiad (ICO2025) held in Singapore. Competing under the team name “N3XT L3V3L”, we proudly brought home 2 Silver and 1 Bronze medals! 🥈🥈🥉

This prestigious event gathered 136 students from 28 countries, and our team achieved outstanding results:

🏅 Abdulla Abdullazade (10th grade, School No. 6, Laki, Agdash) – Silver Medal 🏅 Sumuraz Mirzayev (10th grade, Ruslan Muradov Technical and Humanitarian Lyceum, Mingachevir) – Silver Medal 🏅 Aliyyakbar Shirinli (11th grade, Bilal Aliyev Secondary School, Lankaran) – Bronze Medal

We are sincerely grateful to our mentors: 🎖️ PARVIZ NASIROV, Team Leader 🎖️ Roman Tolstosheyev, Deputy Leader

From my own experience — on day one I climbed to 4th place in the overall ranking and was very close to a gold medal. On day two, unexpected technical issues with Ubuntu forced me to switch to Windows 10 mid-competition. That sudden change cost me 40 points on a challenge worth at least 45 points. Despite this, I secured a Silver Medal and proudly represented my country on the international stage. 💻🌐

This success wouldn’t have been possible without the professionalism and unwavering support of our teachers. I congratulate my teammates and promise to give even more in future competitions. 🚀🇦🇿
