1-minute read • Updated on
Johann Abrina wrote a couple of blog posts with predictions for the winners of the 2012 World Memory Championship in London that begins tomorrow.
Here’s a video where he memorizes a deck of cards in 22.53 seconds!
His predictions are:
- 2012 World Champion: Johannes Mallow
- Dark Horse: Jonas Von Essen
- 2012 Team Champions: Germany
You can read the whole write up from December 11th here.
He posted revised predictions on the 13th. According to a different calculation the country teams would end up with this ranking:
- Germany
- UK
- China
- Philippines
- Sweden
- US
- India
- Hong Kong
- Netherlands
- Denmark
And the competitors in this order:
- Ben Pridmore
- Simon Reinhard
- Johannes Mallow
- Nelson Dellis
- Yudi Lesmana
- Ola Kare Risa
- Jonas Von Essen
- Mark Antony Castañeda
- Rick De Jong
- Boris Konrad
It does seem quite likely that Johannes Mallow could be the next World Memory Champion, but it’s difficult to know how hard other people have been training.
