Post soviet countries, Israel, and Asian countries excel at it, but are they testing real mathematical ability or are they just glorified…

Spelling bee. Of course it captures some IQ but the most brilliant people are not found in post Soviet and Asian countries. It’s a status racket they use to excluse whites

Would you say that it’s possible to have some international event that could actually showcase genuine mathematical ability?

Yes maybe like international journals or something like a nobel prize for mathematics contributions, maybe call it the fields medal or smthng like that

After the 1990s, I think 40 to 50% of all field medal winners are IMO winners, although for IMO gold it is 25%. This spike of IMO(international math olympiad) field medal winners only happened after 1990s, which might signal dysgenics among whites or decline in standards.
