agree  ohlala (X): oui
56 mins
  -> merci! cap sur la Corée/Japon!

agree  Carole Muller: But wouldn't it be World Cup, then
1 hr
  -> not necessarily, I assure you it is exactly the same concept, only the use make that Federations pick the one or the other. I do not a championship without a cup as a price :-))

disagree  Franck Abate: Coupe du Monde = World Cup. Exemple: cyclisme, le championnat du monde se déroule sur une seule journée, la coupe du monde est répartie sur 8 courses dans l'année, le vainqueur est le coureur ayant accumulé le plus de points
1 hr
  -> et les championnats du monde d'athletisme se font en plusieurs semaines...encore une fois ça dépend des sports :-))
