World cup
However, in some sports the Olympic title carries at least as much prestige, while other sports such as diving and artistic gymnastics differentiate between their premier competitions, such as World Championships and Olympic Games, and their "World Cup", which is organized as a smaller scale but high-level showcase event with small elite fields.Usually, such competitions take one of two forms: a short periodic competition or a year-long series of meetings, but more frequently many sports have both a World Cup (usually consisting of multiple events in a season), and a world championship (usually a single event).This is held over a number of days or weeks, with the entrants eventually being whittled down to two, and the tournament culminating in a world cup final.The winner(s) take the title of World Champion(s) and hold it until the next time the event is held (usually one, two, or four years later).A contrasting concept, popular in individual sports, is a year-long competition with several meetings over its course.
