[user:tourist]Today, we witness a momentous occasion in the world of competitive programming—an achievement so remarkable that it redefines the very boundaries of what we thought was possible. Gennady Korotkevich, better known as "tourist," has shattered yet another ceiling by reaching an astonishing 4009 rating on Codeforces!

4009—a number that signifies not just a rating, but the culmination of years of unparalleled dedication, skill, and an unwavering passion for problem-solving. In a world where even a slight increase in rating is a challenge for most, Gennady has gone where no one has gone before, ascending to a level that seemed almost mythical.

What does 4009 mean in the world of competitive programming?

It means mastery—the ability to solve the most complex problems with elegance and speed. It means consistency—not just being the best, but maintaining that position round after round, year after year. It means inspiration—showing us all that the limits we often set for ourselves are meant to be broken.

Reaching a 4009 rating isn’t just about one contest or one problem; it’s about years of hard work, countless hours of practice, and a mindset that refuses to settle for anything less than excellence. "Tourist" has been the gold standard in competitive programming for as long as most of us can remember, and with this new milestone, he has once again proven why he is a legend in this field.

But what makes this achievement even more special is the way Gennady carries himself. Despite being at the pinnacle of the competitive programming world, he remains humble and approachable, always willing to share his knowledge and insights with others. His humility, coupled with his unmatched skill, has made him not just a champion but a true ambassador of the competitive programming community.

For many of us in the Codeforces community, "tourist" has been a source of inspiration. His achievements motivate us to improve our own skills, to think creatively, and to tackle problems with the same tenacity that he exhibits in every contest.
