A quick Olympiad win (Division 4 edition)

While I was collecting results from the 2020 FIDE Online Olympiad, I saw the following very quick win. I quickly realised that I probably saw this line 30 years ago when I was using the Grand Prix Attack as my main anti Sicilian weapon. Checking in my database it seems at least 9 players have fallen into this line, although the other games (all won by white) did go for at least a few more moves than this one.
