Every year, USA Wrestling asks international journalists to predict the winners of the World Wrestling Championships in all three styles.
This journalist prediction contest has become a regular feature on TheMat.com each year, and a fun opportunity for wrestling journalists to do their best to handicap the field.
After the tournament, TheMat.com will publish the standings of these 27 international journalists, to determine which had the best predictions from the 2018 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
In 2017, 19 journalists made selections prior to the World Championships in Paris, France. Per-Kristian Stovring of Norway was the winner with 13 selections, followed by Ali Feizasa of the Iranian Student News Agency and Petr Pavlov, from Yakutia in Russia.
Note: Selections that come in from any journalists on Friday will be added. No new entries will be added starting on Saturday.

Every year, USA Wrestling asks international journalists to predict the winners of the World Wrestling Championships in all three styles.
This journalist prediction contest has become a regular feature on TheMat.com each year, and a fun opportunity for wrestling journalists to do their best to handicap the field.
After the tournament, TheMat.com will publish the standings of these 27 international journalists, to determine which had the best predictions from the 2018 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
In 2017, 19 journalists made selections prior to the World Championships in Paris, France. Per-Kristian Stovring of Norway was the winner with 13 selections, followed by Ali Feizasa of the Iranian Student News Agency and Petr Pavlov, from Yakutia in Russia.
Note: Selections that come in from any journalists on Friday will be added. No new entries will be added starting on Saturday.
