Team Pakistan brings glory to the country in World Memory Sports Council’s 2019 UK Open Championships.
Students of Institute of Human Memory Development took part in the 2019 UK Open Championships representing Team Pakistan and clinched five medals, including 3 gold, 1 silver and a bronze medal.
Their participation was sponsored by Consultants for Our Future World (Pvt.) Ltd.
The event, which featured different teams belonging to Austria, China, England, Italy, Pakistan, Russian Federation, Slovenia, Turkey and Wales, was based on three different competitions in London i.e. Speed Reading, Mind Mapping and Memory Championships.
On the other hand, Nabeel Hasan became the Junior Memory Champion, and also won bronze medal in Mind Mapping Championship. Moreover, Sania Alam Promoted to Level 3 Arbiter, By Guild of Mind Sports Arbiters (GOMSA).
Mind sports hold great significance for kids, where their mental strength is tested rather than the physical skills like any other sport. The concept of sports has also been transformed through the years and it is not restricted to just physical strength anymore.
Pakistan usually does not pay much of an attention on mind sports as cricket, hockey, boxing and football are still being the most discussed games of the country, which mainly require physical capabilities. There is no denial of the importance of physical sports, but mind sports are also as important for children’s grooming as the physical ones.
The traditional learning methods are still being widely used in Pakistan, which include testing students’ knowledge and memory periodically. With the skills of Speed Reading, Mind Mapping and Memory Development, students can learn much more in lesser time, which saves students’ time, energy and financial resources.
Furthermore, all of these skills help obtain more knowledge with lesser effort. If the techniques are used effectively, they become the most efficient manner to record, retain and recall large amount of information.
