Peru has participated in the IOI for the first time and has won a bronze medal. (orz NRolly)

I am the coach of the whole team and we will probably qualify again next year. Our goal now is to get a silver medal in the future. That's why I would like to know how is the training in other countries. How many hours do you dedicate to training? How many contests do you simulate per week? Do they enter codeforces, codechef, atcoder?

Clearly getting a silver medal is not easy but we want to try.

We will be grateful for your support. Best regards
