Each year, TheMat.com asks journalists around the world for their predictions of the champions at the World Wrestling Championships. This has become an annual tradition within international wrestling. The 2011 World Championships will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, Sept. 12-18.

In 2010, the journalists who selected the most World champions were Willie Saylor of The Open Mat (USA), Andrew Hipps of InterMat (USA), Earl B. Smith of D1collegewrestling.net (USA) and Eddie Goldman of No Holds Barred (USA) with 11 correct selections. It was the second year in a row which Hipps was tied in first for the most correct selections.

These are the picks as of Sept. 8. Additional predictions will be added as received prior to the start of the event.
