Sherry Gong's media Coverage

Hello, This is Sherry Gong's mother. I saw your discussion about media coverage of Sherry Gong. I will not vote because of the conflict of interest, but I would like to contribute some information about in depth coverage about her that was in independent media in Puerto Rico, specifically, El Nuevo Dia (Puerto Rico's most circulated newspaper, http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/El_Nuevo_D%C3%ADa) and The San Juan Star (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/The_San_Juan_Daily_Star). This coverage haven't been put online, but I have photos of the articles:

I tried to put a reply to Xxanthippe as follows without success. So I put here to see if he can see it.

Thank you for the welcome and comments. I don't know which page you can not see. So I post them from another site. (El Nuevo Dia is considered Puerto Rico's newspaper of record.)

Only three female students on US teams went to the IMO (as of 2010)

@David Eppstein notes "The source (IMO Medalists and Their Contributions) lists only three women as medaling; it does not say anything about four women or making the team without medaling". I re-read the article and agree with him. However, this source does list three girls who participated: Melanie Wood, Alison Miller, Sherry Gong all of whom medaled. I'm adding the source The Gender Gap in Secondary School Mathematics at High Achievement Levels: Evidence from the American Mathematics Competitions which explicitly states that only three girls (not four) have participated for teams the US sent to the IMO up until 2010 (see page 121): "Since 1974, the United States has sent teams to compete in the International Mathematics Olympiad. Over the full 35-year period, the United States has sent 224 students to the IMO. Five have been female (actually there were just three female students, two of whom went twice)."

The fourth is Jessica Wan. But you would need a more recent source for women in the US IMO teams to include her. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
