BEN PRIDMORE
retains the title of World Memory Champion at the conclusion
of the 18th World Memory Championships in London.
After three days of intense competition, the 18th World
Memory Championship had a nail biting finish on Saturday
14th of November, which could not have been closer. However,
reigning Champion Ben Pridmore from the UK, emerged
victorious, making this his third World Memory Champion
title.

Over the ten
disciplines, which took place over the three days of the
competition, Ben's cummulative Championship points were
7,854. Runner up was Johannes Mallow from Germany with 7,321
Championships points followed, in third place by fellow
German Simon Reinhard with 7,137.
Despite achieving a higher score than last year, previous
World Memory Champion Dr Gunther Karsten had to settle for
forth place with 6,958 - only 28 points less than what it
took him to win the Championships in 2007 - a sure sign of
the increasing achievments of top competitors year by year.
CONGRATULATIONS to Junior Memory Champion Dorothea Seitz and
also to the Kids Memory Champion Song Xiatong.
