'Weltmeister' and 'Weltmeisterin' both refer to someone who has won a world championship. The most important difference is gender or grammatical form. 'Weltmeisterin' is used for a woman. 'Weltmeister' is used for a man, and sometimes also generally for a team or a person when gender is not the focus. Learners may confuse the words because they look almost the same. When it is clearly a woman who is meant, 'Weltmeisterin' sounds more precise and more natural.
