In 2022, 10th edition of Hippo English Language Olympiad was held. 67,653 students from over 60 countries participated in the preliminary round. New countries joined our Hippo family in 2022 too.
7,592 semi-finalists competed for their place in the World Finals. The semi-final round was held in bigger towns or cities in each of the countries. Hippo Association representatives were present in more than one country to wish the best of luck to as many students as possible.
In 2022, first Qualifiers outside of Europe were held, in Egypt.
For the first time, the World Finals were held in Rome, at the end of September. 151 students joined us to not only compete but also meet students from all around the world.
A number of officials and embassy representatives supported the finalists with their presence and hearty cheering.
