预祝第46届国际化学奥林匹克竞赛选手满载而归
诸平
第46届国际化学奥林匹克竞赛（46th International Chemistry Olympiad）将于2014年7月20-29日在越南河内举行（THE 46th INTERNATIONAL CHEMISTRY OLYMPIADJULY 20-29, 2014, HANOI, VIETNAM），各参赛地区或国家相继公布了参赛选手的名单。我国2014年3月底就已经公布了参加第46届国际化学奥林匹克竞赛4名选手。他们是中国化学会从第27届中国化学奥林匹克（决赛）获一等奖学生中确定50名学生进入国家队选拔赛，通过对测试成绩和综合考察结果进行了充分讨论和评议，中国化学会决定以下4名选手代表我国中学生参加第46届国际化学奥林匹克竞赛：
贺麒霖 男 湖南省长沙市长郡中学；
谢芳柏 男 华中师范大学第一附属中学；
张力培 男 河北省衡水中学；
吴锐恒 男 浙江省杭州第二中学。
在此谨向以上四位同学致以热烈的祝贺，并愿他们在一月之后的河内国际竞赛中取得好成绩！
2014年6月17日，美国也公布了他们的4名参赛选手（见下面的报道，看上去更像华人后裔）：
U.S. Chemistry Olympiad Team Chosen
Four U.S. high school students are headed to Vietnam to represent the U.S. in the 46th International Chemistry Olympiad, to be held July 20–29 in Hanoi. The four-member team was chosen on June 17 at the conclusion of an intensive two-week study camp sponsored by the American Chemical Society and held at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
The team consists of Andrew Chen of West Windsor Plainsboro High School South, in New Jersey; Robert Kao of Edwin O. Smith High School, in Storrs, Conn.; Stephen Li of Troy High School, in Michigan; and Derek Wang of North Allegheny Senior High School, in Wexford, Pa.
“Our team is extremely strong,” says head mentor Melissa Barranger-Mathys, assistant professor of chemistry at Ursuline College in Ohio. “We have a great group of thinkers, and they can reason through any challenging problem.”
“I’m really humbled by the fact that I got chosen for the travel team,” Wang says. “I’m going to do my best to get a gold medal for the U.S., but I’m also really excited to meet young chemists from around the world.”
“I’m really proud of myself,” says Kao, who notes that he became hooked on learning chemistry in fourth grade after picking up a chemistry book at his local library and realizing that he understood the material.
Li says that he’s in disbelief that he made the team. “I’ve wanted to make it for so long,” he says. But he knows there’s still much work ahead that comes with a great deal of responsibility. “You’re representing not just yourself or your school, but your country.”
The students say they are confident they will prove themselves. “Our biggest strength is the fact that we can work together, and we can help each other,” Chen says. “For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been working against each other, but at a moment’s notice, we can turn that around and we can be teammates rather than competitors.”-
