"Memoriad-2016" World Mental Olympics are held every four years in Las Vegas, USA.
167 athletes from 27 countries are competing for 13 categories including speed cards, spoken number, flash number, binary digits, names and faces, numbers memory, mental additions, and mental calendar dates.
On the second day of the Olympics, Mongolian athlete S.Tsogbadrakh won gold medal in flash number category by memorizing 486 digits and updated the world record. Previously, he set the record in flash number category by memorizing 300 digits at the "Memoriad-2012" World Mental Olympics.
Grand Master S.Tsogbadrakh has became the first athlete in history to win two World Mental Olympic gold medals. Moreover, International Grand Master E.Purevjav claimed bronze medal in this category by memorizing 232 digits.
International Master B.Ariunsanaa (14 years-old) placed 4th, Asian Master Z.Tsetesgzul (16 years-old) placed 7th, International Master T.Enkhjin (18 years-old) placed 8th, N.Namuundari (12 years-old) placed 9th, International Grand Master E.Enkhmunkh (18 years-old) placed 10th and B.Khangal (11 years-old) placed 11th in flash number category.
In this category, the competitors are expected to memorize the flashing 500 digits at a frequency of 1.0 seconds on the screen. The numbers are not allowed to be written during the memorization stage.
As soon as the competitor makes his/her first mistake the marking stops. For example, if a competitor recalls 198 numbers but makes a mistake at the 76th number, then the score is considered 75. If a contestant recalls 300 numbers but makes a mistake on the first number, the score is “0”.
As of second day of the "Memoriad-2016" World Mental Olympics, our athletes won 2 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze medals. It is the 40th international mental competition attended by Mongolian athletes.
