The World Championships were contested every four years, on even years between the Summer Olympic years, from 1978 to 1998. The Championships have been contested every two years, in the odd years, since 2001.The Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on both the Olympic Games and the Championships, which caused some erratic scheduling between 2019 and 2025. For example, the World Championships were postponed from Japan in 2021 to 2020 Summer Olympics, and then again to 2023 due to pandemic-related problems in Japan.
