The Individual Ice Speedway World Championship is an Ice speedway championship held annually to determine an individual World Champion.[1][2][3][4]

History

[edit]

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.[8]

In March 2022, the FIM issued a total ban on Russian riders competing in international events, meaning they were unable to complete the remainder of the 2022 calendar or appear in the following seasons.[9]
