The speaker clarifies that it is not like the "special olympics" and that it is an international competition for high school students with a limit of 5 students per country. They also mention the possibility of using physics steroids and their own experience of getting to the second round of the olympiad. The conversation ends with the speakers discussing their chances of making it to the international olympiad, which is taking place in Spain.

No it's not. It's something like an international competiton in the knowledg of physics(mostly harder examples buth with littel or no calcules). I might get on the national team, but there isn-t much chance of that, becouse there is a 5 per countrz limit.

It's not really something you can just enter.
It won't be known which HS students will be representing a certain country in the international olympiad until that country's national olympiad is concluded. P.S.
I assume you qualified for the nationals?

I'm one of 19. Maybe we'll compete against each other at the international olympiad. It's in Spain this year, I believe.
