I do like that the Fields Medal goes to people nearer to the start of their careers than the end like the Nobel awards.

I would be curious about, say, the next five people that didn’t make the cut. Is it common that they still go on to get a Fields Medal?

Also I wonder if there was ever a joint result that led to both authors being awarded a Fields Medal. I can’t find one but strong collaborations are not uncommon, so…
