Problem 2185

IMO Shortlist mid-range; USAMO P2/P5
Geometry Difficulty 8.0 Prove it KöMaL problem A · Hungary · 2022

Triangle ABCABC has incenter II and excircles ΩA\Omega_A, ΩB\Omega_B, and ΩC\Omega_C. Let A\ell_A be the line through the feet of the tangents from II to ΩA\Omega_A, and define lines B\ell_B and C\ell_C similarly. Prove that the orthocenter of the triangle formed by lines A\ell_A, B\ell_B, and C\ell_C coincides with the Nagel point of triangle ABCABC.

This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, then check yourself against the publisher's own solution, linked below. Be honest about it: the record is only any use to you if it is.
