The decision came after several hours of
deliberations by a 17-person international jury. The winner
receives a 40,000 euro ($46,620) prize and gold medal.
The second prize ex aequo went to Alexander Gadjiev and Kyohei
Sorita, while Martin Garcia Garcia came in third.
The competition, named after the famed Polish composer Frederic
Chopin, started in 1927. It is held every five years.
Its 18th edition was scheduled to take place in 2020 but was
delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
