WASHINGTON: Two Indian-origin students have helped the US win the prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad after more than two decades.

“Go Team USA! America took first place in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the first time since 1994,” the White House tweeted, and attached a photo of congratulatory letter from the US President Barack Obama.
