Shot from Barys Arena in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, prior to the start of the 2019 World Wrestling Championships.
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 international journalists, to determine which had the best predictions from the 2019 World Championships in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
In 2018, 29 journalists from eight nations made selections prior to the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. The journalist with the most champions picked last year was Jason Bryant of Mat Talk Online with 14 correct selections. Michael Willis of USA Wrestling was second with 13 selections.
Note: Selections that come in from any journalists later 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 international journalists, to determine which had the best predictions from the 2019 World Championships in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
In 2018, 29 journalists from eight nations made selections prior to the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. The journalist with the most champions picked last year was Jason Bryant of Mat Talk Online with 14 correct selections. Michael Willis of USA Wrestling was second with 13 selections.
Note: Selections that come in from any journalists later on Friday will be added. No new entries will be added starting on Saturday.
