The Individual Ice Speedway World Championship is an Ice speedway championship held annually to determine an individual World Champion. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The first Championships were held in 1966. A European Championship was held for the two years preceding the World Championships. [5] [6] The event has been dominated by the Soviet Union/Russia, who have won all but seven of the World Championship titles since 1966. Sweden has won five times, Czechoslovakia twice and Finland once. [7]
In 2021 and 2022 Russian athletes competed as neutral competitors using the designation MFR (Motorcycle Federation of Russia), as the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a ban on Russia competing at World Championships. The ban was implemented by the World Anti-Doping Agency in response to state-sponsored doping program of Russian athletes. [9]
