> You don’t have to be a genius to be good at memory sports, say two Canadians competing on the world stage. In fact, you don’t even have to have a particularly good memory.
> 
> Braden Adams of Chilliwack, B.C., and Don Michael Vickers of Sydney Mines, N.S., are both competing at the 2023 Memory League World Championship. The virtual contest pits memory mavens against each other in short competitions where they have to recall cards, names, words and numbers.
> 
> Adams and Vickers are the only Canadians in the mix, and they both rely on a technique known as the “memory palace.”
