I think you're really underestimating these strong women. The title is not misleading because of this point:

"I was one of the first few girls on the Georgian team in IOI and I was the second Georgian girl to win a medal."

It doesn't matter if they are 2nd not 1st place. Bottom line is that these strong, awesome women are setting a great example.

Regarding IOI, that's a common misconception people have about high school olympiads: "The top 50% of the contestants are awarded medals, such that the relative number of gold : silver : bronze : no medal is approximately 1:2:3:6 (thus 1/12 of the contestants get a gold medal)."
