India bags 8 medals at 66th International Mathematical Olympiad 2025
An Indian team comprising six contestants won 8 medals including three gold at the 66th India International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), held this week at the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Among the three goldwinners, Adhitya Mangudy was representing Maharashtra. This is the second time India has won 3 Gold Medals at the IMO, the first being in 1998. Last year (2024), India made history by winning 4 Gold Medals at the 65th IMO. Since 1989, India has won a total of 23 Gold Medals, 12 of which were earned between 2019 and 2025. Notably, 9 of these came in the last three IMOs (2023, 2024, and 2025). Kanav Talwar and Aarav Gupta from Delhi, along with Adhitya Mangudy from Maharashtra, won Gold. Abel George Mathew from Karnataka and Aadish Jain from Delhi won Silver, while Archit Manas from Delhi secured a Bronze Medal. The team was accompanied by Prof. Shanta Laishram (Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi) as the leader, Dr. Mainak Ghosh (Indian Statistical Institute, Bengaluru) as the deputy leader, Mr. Atul Shatavart Nadig (undergraduate student, MIT, USA), and Dr. Rijul Saini as observers. India achieved an (unofficial) country rank of 7th out of 110 participating countries at the 66th IMO, which featured a total of 630 students. This is the third time India has secured a 7th-place finish at the IMO, matching its performances in 1998 and 2001. The country's best performance to date remains the 4th-place finish at the 65th IMO in 2024. India has now achieved a top-10 rank for the third consecutive year (9th in 2023, 4th in 2024, and 7th in 2025). Since its debut in 1989 (India did not participate in 2020 due to the pandemic), India has placed in the top 10 on seven occasions out of 35 appearances. Adding to this year's achievements, Anant Mudgal became the first Indian to serve on the Problem Selection Committee (PSC) of an IMO not hosted by India—another proud moment for the country at the 66th IMO. Mudgal has represented India at the IMP in the past for four consecutive years – 2015 to 2018 winning multiple medals. The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR—India's nodal centre for training and selecting students for various International Olympiads —will felicitate the medallists on Monday in a formal function at its Mumbai campus.

Award-winning Norfolk rose gardens with 'hidden gem' park is a 'lovely day out'
Fans of the venue said it is "nice to stroll around on a warm day" and dubbed it "cute and wholesome" Award-winning rose gardens have been praised online as a place to add to your "weekend list." The venue, tucked away in Norwich, Norfolk, has drawn attention online due to its picturesque views. Peter Beales Roses, in Norwich, has been dubbed a "hidden gem" by fans on TikTok, who praised the rose gardens specifically. That will come as no surprise to many as Peter Beales is renowned for being home to the largest variety of roses in the UK and having 29 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medals to its name. TikTok user Shauna (@ilyxshaun) shared a clip showcasing the venue on a recent trip. Her caption read: "One for your weekend list." In the video, Shauna walks through the venue and shows viewers the entrance, the indoor shop selling produce, meets, handmade jewellery, the cafe, and the garden shop. She then moves on to the rose gardens, which she claims are "nice to stroll around on a warm day." In her voiceover, Shauna said: "This award-winning spot in Attleborough might just be Norfolk's best kept summer day out. It's known for its beautiful rose gardens, but there's a lot more you can do here. "Inside. They've got a shop with lots of local produce like jams, chutneys, fresh meats, even handmade jewellery. They also have a cafe for brunch and afternoon tea. "Plus you can sit outside when the weather's warm, which is a bonus. There's a garden section with indoor plants, tools and just all the little bits that you didn't know you even needed. "But the best part, without a doubt, is the rose gardens. There were rose bushes everywhere, little archways to wander through and so many pretty corners. It's so nice to stroll around on a warm day. Peter Bales is ideal for when you don't have plans but want something cute and wholesome to do." Beneath the video, others praised the venue and shared their favourite things about it too. One viewer said: "such a lovely day out" and a second wrote: "looks lovely." A third added: "When I last went there was a little hidden play park too for children we had to follow signs and it was very hidden but very cute." A different person said: "Yep there's a children's play area right at the back and a little nature walk." The praise continued, with one viewer writing: "I love visiting here solely for the rose gardens!" and another adding: "Love it here. The rose festival is fab!" According to Peter Beales, the rose gardens allow visitors to "escape to a world of beauty and tranquillity", where "nature's artistry meets timeless elegance." The venue's website adds that the gardens are the perfect place to "lose yourself in a sensory paradise." The rose gardens feature rose-covered archways and walkways draped in vibrant blooms, a "stunning" observation turret offering panoramic garden views, a "serene" wildlife garden buzzing with biodiversity, and display gardens with "intoxicating perfumes and seasonal colour." Peter Beales Roses is based around half a mile off the A11 in Attleborough, Norfolk. The venue features free parking, wheelchair access, toilets, and baby-changing facilities. Entrance to the rose gardens, which is open seven days a week, year-round, is free.
