Claire’s other bronze was won in the International Mathematics Olympiad Competition of Southeast Asia (IMOCSEA), which was held online on September 3, 2023.

The ASIAROPE Olympiad is an international competition in Mathematics, Science, and English Journalism for Primary Levels (Grades 1 to 6), Secondary Levels (Secondary 1 to 4), and Senior Secondary Levels (Grades 11 & 12).
