Successful performance of the Polish national cycle speedway team on the international arena in the years 1995-2019

Abstract

Cycle speedway came to Poland from England at the beginning of the 1990s. The fi rst Polish club which entered into the register of associations of physical culture as a cycle speedway club was the Rawicz “Pavart” Sports Club (1994). A year later, also in Rawicz, the Provisional Polish Society of Cycle Speedway was established (since 1997 - Polish Society of Cycle Speedway), and beginning from 30 November 2005 – the Polish Federation of Cycle Speedway Clubs. Considering the present state of research, there are no works that, in a synthetic way, would present the successes of Polish cycle speedway riders on the international arena. For this reason, an attempt has been made to elaborate on the subject. <br>Since 1995, Polish cycle speedway riders have been participating in world and European championships (including Individual and Team World Championships and Individual and Team European Championships).
