World Beach Wrestling Championships

Although not officially recognized by UWW as a World Championship, many nations recognize the beach wrestling competition of the World Wrestling Games to be the World Beach Wrestling Championship in 2007 (hosted in Antalya, Turkey) and 2008 (hosted in Durrës, Albania).

[4] The same recognition is generally not given to the 2009 World Wrestling Games (hosted in Šiauliai, Lithuania) as the Beach Wrestling World Championships made its officially sanctioned return.

Beginning in 2019, the World Championships for the senior division will be determined via a point system during the Beach Wrestling World Series.

[5] The Beach Wrestling World Series features multiple international competitions, with each event awarding 15,000 CHF in prize money.

[6] The World Beach Wrestling Championships will remain as a singular event to determine the World Champion in the cadet and junior age divisions.
