RP Memory Team Ready in London By Robbie Pangilinan PhilBoxing.com Thu, 28 Mar 2013 London via PCSO ? Philippine Memory Team member Mary Sharmaine Deldio Dianquinay, the reigning Thailand International Open Women?s Champion is ready and confident to win two days before the Welsh Open Memory Championships starts on Saturday, March 30 at the Llanover Village Hallin South Wales, United Kingdom. ?I?m ready. It?s a big challenge for me, but I will try my best,? said the silver and bronze medalist during the 2013 Australian Open Memory Championships last November in Brisbane, Australia. The 18-year-old UP Manila Speech Pathology student is eyeing her first Grandmaster norm/ results in the event organized by Dai Griffiths and sanctioned by the World Memory Sports Council headed by co-founder famous book author and mind mapping inventor Tony Buzan, England?s Chess Grandmaster Raymond Keene and General-Secretary Chris Day. Dianquinay is the international overall champion in the Women?s Division at the 2012 Thailand Open Memory Championships where she also got a gold medal in the Random Words Division. She was also the silver medalist in the Spoken Numbers Division and the bronze medalist in the Random Words Division at the 2012 Australian Open Memory Championships. Dianquinay started last year when she was 17, but didn?t expect to compete in the adult division. She was suddenly fielded there when she turned 18 in June. She was one of the youngest, yet finished on top in the Women?s Division during her first international competition. ?If you aim for something big, never expect it to be easy. If it wasn?t difficult, then it wouldn?t be worth it,? said Sharmaine, who is now also a Memory Sports Coach. Another Filipina memory athlete, UK-based Cristine ?Eon? Barao, will also vie for awards at the prestigious competition. Dianquinay?s teammate, 16-year-old Princess Grace Mendoza begged off at the last minute due to an unavoidable circumstance. # Click here to view a list of other articles written by Robbie Pangilinan.  |
