In an acute-angled triangle ABCA B C, point HH is the orthocentre and A0,B0,C0A_{0}, B_{0}, C_{0} are the midpoints of the sides BC,CA,ABB C, C A, A B, respectively. Consider three circles passing through HH : ωa\omega_{a} around A0,ωbA_{0}, \omega_{b} around B0B_{0} and ωc\omega_{c} around C0C_{0}. The circle ωa\omega_{a} intersects the line BCB C at A1A_{1} and A2;ωbA_{2} ; \omega_{b} intersects CAC A at B1B_{1} and B2;ωcB_{2} ; \omega_{c} intersects ABA B at C1C_{1} and C2C_{2}. Show that the points A1,A2,B1,B2,C1,C2A_{1}, A_{2}, B_{1}, B_{2}, C_{1}, C_{2} lie on a circle.
