It predatesWorld Wrestling Championships and other regional wrestling championships and is second only to thewrestling events at the Olympics. From its inception in 1898 till 1927 onlyGreco-Roman wrestling was contested. Since1929 separatefreestyle wrestling events were held as well. Since1970 the two Olympic wrestling styles were contested together during the same unified events. Since1973Sambo wrestling was included into the championships programme along with GR and freestyle wrestling[1] (subsequently discontinued andfrom 1983 contested separately).
