Year 9 - not aged 9. He's not that smart; compared to Alexis Clairaut.

According to this, we got one silver and three bronze. So, congratulations to them! It's a great improvement on their results at the Asian Physics Olympiad this year.

To qualify for the physics olympiads, you are not allowed to have started study at university. So, most people are in year 12.
