Note the following distinction: one can be a (previous) champion of an event (tournament) without necessarily being the (current) titleholder/titlist. Hence the English term "champion" is only a partial equivalent of the French term "tenant/détenteur du titre". It is recommended that the term "champion" be qualified in English to avoid any ambiguity - defending champion, current champion, last year's champion, previous champion, reigning champion, etc. 1, record 1, English, - titleholder
