2006 USA Memory Competition on HDNet

"The USA Memory Championship is an Olympiad for 'thinking' games. Set up as a sporting event for Mental Athletes, the tournament consists of memory challenging tournament-style competitive events including memorization of: 99 names and faces, a shuffled deck of cards, an unpublished poem, speed numbers, and a list of 500 words. Mental Athletes compete for gold, silver and bronze awards in individual competitions as well as for the entire event."

This is the 2006 event that was aired on HDNet in April of 2006. Joshua Foer won the competition, who has signed a contract for a book titled "Moonwalking with Einstein" which is due in 2009 which details several aspects of memory sports.

I've cut the video up into 6 parts, all of which are available below, or in my profile.
