Hayk Manukyan is an Armenian school student and competitive mathematician from Yerevan. Representing Armenia at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad (Shanghai, 2026), he won a silver medal with 24 points (rank 117, 82.6%), the strongest individual result on the Armenian team, and was one of five Armenian medalists as the team placed 43rd. He is a 10th-grade student at Quantum College in Yerevan. In 2026 he also took gold at the 22nd Zhautykov International Mathematical Olympiad and gold at the 30th Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad; in September 2025 he won silver at the 9th European Junior Olympiad in Informatics as a 9th-grader, showing strength in both olympiad mathematics and competitive programming.

Hayk Manukyan is an Armenian school student and competitive mathematician from Yerevan. A 10th-grade pupil at Quantum College, he represented Armenia at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO 2026) in Shanghai, where he took the country's only silver medal and the team's best individual score: 24 points, a rank of 117 out of 666 competitors (82.6%), with full marks on problems 1 and 4. His 2026 season also brought gold at the 22nd Zhautykov International Mathematical Olympiad in Yerevan and gold at the 30th Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad in Romania. He is equally competitive in informatics, having won a silver medal at the 9th European Junior Olympiad in Informatics in September 2025 as a 9th-grader.

Notes
  • Won Armenia's only silver and the team's top individual score at the 67th IMO (Shanghai, 2026): 24 points, rank 117 of 666 (82.6%), with a perfect 7 on P1 and P4; teammates took four bronze and one honorable mention as Armenia placed 43rd.Jul 21, 2026
  • Across roughly one year (Sep 2025 to Jul 2026) he collected international medals in two distinct olympiad disciplines (informatics silver, then math silver/gold), a trajectory suggesting he is being groomed toward Armenia's senior IMO/informatics pipelines.Jul 2026
  • Won gold at the 22nd Zhautykov International Mathematical Olympiad (IZhO 2026) in Yerevan with 19 points, the highest of any Armenian contestant; suggests he is the benchmark junior mathematician in Armenia's 2026 cohort.Jan 2026
  • A 10th-grade student at Quantum College in Yerevan at the time of IMO 2026, per Armenian Public Radio's coverage.Jul 21, 2026
  • Won gold at the 30th Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (Buzau, Romania, 2026), one of six Armenian medals there; that contest is capped at under-15 competitors, so the gold came while he was still age-eligible as a younger student.Jun 26, 2026
  • His range spans both mathematics and informatics: before the math medals he won silver (grade 9) at the 9th European Junior Olympiad in Informatics (EYOI/EJOI) in September 2025, pointing to a strong computational as well as proof-based skill set.Sep 5, 2025
  • The 2026 Armenian IMO squad is dominated by his school: four of the six members (Manukyan, Tigran Akheyan, Aren Grigoryan and Sargis Arakelyan attend/attended Quantum or PhysMath) came through the same Yerevan olympiad-training ecosystem, with Quantum College supplying three.Jul 21, 2026
  • Armenia's 2026 IMO team was coached by Grigor Keropyan (WorldQuant) and Narek Khandanyan (Krisp), industry practitioners rather than full-time teachers; the squad's improvement over 2025 (3 bronze) to 2026 (1 silver + 4 bronze) tracks with that coaching.Jul 21, 2026
  • No public professional footprint (LinkedIn, GitHub, X, personal site) surfaces for him as of September 2026, consistent with a school-age competitor whose public record is confined to olympiad result tables and press coverage.Sep 2026
