Beating 10 other teams, students from the United States captured the gold at the fourth International Geography Olympiad. The Canadian team came in second, with Russia a close third. The three teams had the highest combined scores in Tuesday’s two-part preliminary rounds. Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman of the Board of the National Geographic Society, sponsor of the Olympiad, honored all three teams with an Olympic-style awards ceremony, complete with gold, silver, and bronze medals.
