By Tim Foley

CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (October 17) – With the 2018 Wrestling World Championships kicking off in three days, United World Wrestling has released its first Fan and Press Guide and announced its new documentary series, “Wrestling 360'.”

[La version française est disponible ici : Guide Presse & Fans.]

The Fan and Press guide is a full account of the past year in wrestling; providing statistics, results and link-rich text to allow fans and press from around the world to gather a better sense of matchups, rivalries, weight categories, and team races in all three styles.

The Fan and Press Guide is available for download at the World Championship event page, which will also include full, updated entry lists for each of the 90+ nations set to attend the World Championships as well as updated individual and team results, livestreams, and news wraps from the event. 

In another first, United World Wrestling is also offering free photo downloads from the world championships. The open access to United World Wrestling’s images allows fans, press, national federations and the wrestlers to download and share images from their favorite moments during the eight days of the championships. The link also includes access to all the images from the 2017 World Championships in Paris.

In addition to the press and fan-friendly items, United World Wrestling’s media team has released Episode 1 of its documentary series, “Wrestling 360.” The first installment, “From Many, One – United States Men’s Freestyle, takes viewers inside the minds of the American freestyle wrestling team as they reflect on their 2017 team title and state their intentions to repeat as world champions in 2018.

Episode 2, scheduled to be released at the end of 2018, concentrates on the wrestling culture of Dagestan and includes interviews with Olympic champion Abdulrashid SADUALEV and UFC lightweight champion Khabib NURMAMAGOMEDOV. Dagestan’s rich wrestling culture, and the positive affects it has on the region, was recently documented by the New York Times and AFP.

The 2018 Senior Wrestling World Championships will run from October 20-28 at the Papp Laszlo Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Livestream coverage of the event will be on the United World Wrestling homepage with TV coverage available worldwide.

A detailed schedule of events can be found in the Fan and Press Guide as well as on the event page for the championships.
