KTH have finally succeeded in winning a world championship medal again following four-year losing streak. After gold in 2004, silver in 2005 and this year's bronze, KTH now has a medal in each denomination. The prestigious US seat of learning team was beaten in this year's programming world championship. KTH began the competition quite well, but after 4 of the 5 hour long competition, the team had fallen to 27th place, 15 places and two problems from medal position. However, the last hour proved to be successful.
