There is a long tradition that world champions meet at ICCF congresses.
In according to my statistics the most frequent guests among world champions (including ICCF Congress in Kraków, Poland) are:
| Times | World Champions | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 24 | 11th Fritz Baumbach (GER) | without any break since gaining world champion title !!! |
| 9 | 6th Horst Rittner (GER) | |
| 9 | 12th Grigory Sanakoev (RUS) | |
| 7 | 16th Tunc Hamarat (AUT) |
The biggest number of world champions hosted by ICCF Congresses:
| ICCF Congress | WC# |
|---|---|
| 1999 Thun, Switzerland | 6 |
| 2006 Dresden, Germany | 6 |
| 2013 Kraków, Poland | 6 |
At the congress page „World Champions and congresses” evidences of these very specific meetings have been placed, based on my archive and photos from book „Who is the Champion of the Champions?” by Fritz Baumbach.
I would be happy to suplement this page with evidences for other congress meetings 🙂
