WHAT DOES WORLD CHAMPION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

World championship

A world championship is a title commonly used to describe a variety of sports events across a number of sports and disciplines. As a general rule of thumb a world championships will be open to elite competitors from across the world, representing their nations, and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest, although there are exceptions to each of these elements in different sporting contexts. The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or, less commonly, ranking systems, or a combination of the two. This determines a 'world champion', who or which is commonly considered the best nation, team, individual in the world in a particular field, although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the 'world champion'. Certain sports do not have a world championship, instead they may organise a World cup competition, or they may organize both. Often, the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words.
