Recently we found out which federations will field their representatives at the European Individual Ice Speedway Championship in Sanok. Today we already know with which starting numbers the competitors of each country will present themselves before the Sanok audience. The competition for the title of the best rider in Europe will take place on February 24 and 25. Tickets are available for sale online.
This year’s competition
European Individual Ice Speedway Championship will be held in Poland for the fifth consecutive year. Our country will traditionally be represented by Michal Knapp, who was thirteenth overall in 2020, twelfth a year later, then eleventh, and last year, mainly due to equipment problems, placed eighteenth. Now he will be looking to clearly improve.
The formula for the competition remains unchanged. Each day provides for 20 races each in the main phase, after which the two most successful riders will find a place immediately in the final race. The fight for the remaining two will take place in a barrage, which will be contested by speedway riders from places 3-6 after the main phase. Let us emphasize again that the sum of points won in the two tournaments will determine the final classification, and thus this year’s medalists.
Starting numbers
The distribution of 18 places (including reserve athletes) for each federation is known. Eight countries will field their representatives in Sanok. As many as four of them were given the opportunity to enter three athletes each. Two, the Czech Republic and Austria, on the other hand, will be allowed to enter two players in the tournament and one reserve each. Germany and Sweden will each have three full-fledged representatives in the competition. The Finns and Swedes each got two spots, while Poland and Italy each got one.
The various federations have already been assigned starting numbers. It looks like this: 1) Germany, 2) Sweden, 3) Finland, 4) Germany, 5) Czech Republic, 6) Poland, 7) Sweden, 8) Czech Republic, 9) Italy, 10) Netherlands, 11) Netherlands, 12) Austria, 13) Sweden, 14) Finland, 15) Germany, 16) Austria, 17) Austria, 18) Czech Republic.
