A BAHRAIN resident has set a new record by winning a memory championship in India for the fifth year in a row.
Hemant Joshi lifted the Indian National Memory Championship (Senior) 2022 trophy at a competition held under the aegis of the World Memory Sports Council for India in Hyderabad.
The Indian business executive also won nine gold medals and a cash prize.
He has been winning the title since 2018.
The memory marathon tests participants’ ability to memorise, with speed and clinical precision, large chunks of data such as random digits, binary digits (0 and 1), random words, historic events, abstract images, random names and faces, shuffled deck of cards and so on.
Mr Joshi is also a two-time World Memory Champion (Senior) for 2018 and 2019.
“It is exciting to compete and thrilling to win at the national level,” he said.
“I have been desperately wanting to compete at the world level for the past three years but it was cancelled due to the pandemic. Hope I get a chance in 2023,” he added.
Mr Joshi works as a board member of Abdulla Nass Group and Nass Corporation.
