Mind Lab - The Mind Olympics

About The Tournament

The fourth Mind Olympics crowned the Israeli team as the world champions. But they were not the only winners of this amazing tournament. This year was the closest and probably the strongest tournament so far. Ten teams representing nine countries challenged the title and the surroundings of the beautiful city of Venice set the perfect atmosphere for the event. In a six round tournament we saw teams going up and down the table, lots of drama and sportive behavior by the talented children. When the curtain went down we saw the Turkish team taking the second place, leaving behind strong teams from Hungary, the US, the UK, Romania and Brazil.
