Sweden just won the 2014 World Memory Championships, and Remente is a super mega mighty proud team sponsor! 

This past weekend, the 2014 World Memory Championships (10-14 December) took place on the island of Hainan in Haikou, Chinas's most southern province. 

Reigning World Memory Champion Jonas von Essen managed to defend his Championship title and together with Swedish national team members Yanjaa Altantuya, Marwin Wallonius and Team Captain Idriz Zogaj, Sweden emerged as the world's best memory nation, winning the country title as well, with Mongolia coming in at second place! 

10 Medals To Sweden

The Swedish National Team scored 10 medals all in all, of which 8 where gold. Individually, Jonas von Essen won the whole tournament, while Marwin Wallonius placed 4th, and Yanjaa Altantuya ranked 9th, thanks to taking gold in the Names & Faces category, where she was only one point shy of the World Record in the category. Highlights include Jonas managing to memorize a deck of cards in 35.55 seconds and Yanjaa memorizing 185 names in less than 15 minutes! 

Remente is a proud sponsor of the Swedish National Memory Team and the Swedish Memory Association (Svenska Minnesförbundet). The individuals in the Swedish National Memory Team are stellar examples on how the brain's boundaries can be pushed to achieve things we previously didn't think was possible.
