    		The first event was held in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1962. The event then was held every 4 years until 1974 - when it became an annual competition. Also in 1974, Men's lightweight and Women's open weight events were added to the championships. In 1985 Women's lightweight events were added to the schedule.
