World Wrestling Championships 1986

The World Wrestling Championships 1986 took place from October 19 to 26, 1986 in Budapest . It was wrestled in both Greco-Roman and free styles . The wrestlers were divided into ten weight classes. In addition to the competitions for men, a demonstration tournament for women was held. The attempt led to the introduction of the women's world championships a year later.

Greco-Roman

The Greco-Roman style competitions took place from October 23 to 26, 1986. In the final of the -82 kg class, Bogdan Daras from Poland and Tibor Komáromi from Hungary were disqualified after 4:58 minutes of fighting time, as neither of them managed to score. Both initially received silver. In 1987 the FILA revised this decision, whereupon both wrestlers were declared world champions.
