The instant-archiving system is said to be user-friendly and allows fans to catch up on each day’s action.

"After our wrestlers, we know that the fans are the most important part of our organisation," said UWW President Nenad Lalovic.

"Millions of people around the world want to watch wrestling and we are going to provide them access from our website."

In addition to live stream, archived videos and up-to-minute results, the World Championships event page will also include team scores, highlight films, interviews, photography, news wraps and feature stories.
