Yan linked to some videos of the World Memory Championships in Guangzhou. The videos are in Japanese, but there is a lot of footage.
Here are the videos:

Hehe.. Thanks a lot for posting the videos on your homepage! :)
As you can see from the above videos, Wang Feng uses a two digits system with 2 images on one locus and not a five digit chinese system. Atleast I have not seen any proof of that. He has just trained a lot with this system.
For 480 digits in 5 mins, he'll need 120 loci. With the intense trainings he has done, this is feasible I think.
I love the training settings. It is a simple room with a table and pens and papers. You can see they are dead serious about the competitions.
That's very interesting -- smashing world records with a person-action system...
Do you understand Japanese? I'm wondering if there are any other interesting tips hidden in there...
It is not a person action system. It is a simple system. He has only 100 images for each 2 digits. He then combine the 2 images at one point. It is not like Dominic's system but more like Ben's system where his 2 images interact with each other in certain order. There are no actions involved.
It is with sheer practise that he pushed the boundaries of his system.
I got the gist of his system from the little japanese I know.
Very interesting. I'm having trouble with that kind of system (100 plain items) because the images keep repeating. Maybe I need some intensive practice. :)
Wang is using a 2 digit system and all the codes are written by himself in his post. No person - action theory.
,,and not a five digit chinese system''
