Poland's Krzysztof Duleba, 22, explained that in countries like his own, there are so few economic opportunities for students that competitions like these are their one chance to participate in the global economy.
I don't recall commenting on Polish economy (I have my opinion and in fact I think it's doing quite well).
I said that in Poland we don't have too many *scientific* opportunities and that biology, chemistry, physics etc. are underdeveloped in comparison to maths and CS, so bright students lean towards maths, while in western countries they have wider choice.
I also mentioned our general high competiveness and great job done by the organizers of Polish Olympiad in Informatics and other contests, but those comments didn't make it to the article.
