Individual Speedway Danish Championship is the National competition for Danish speedway riders to determine the champion of Denmark.[1] The winner of the final is awarded a gold medal and declared Danish Individual Champion. The riders finishing second and third are awarded silver and bronze medals respectively.

History

[edit]

The event was first held in 1930, although from 1930 to 1951, there was no definitive difference between the short track and long track Championships of Denmark. The 500cc special class is recorded as the champion in this list.[2][3][4] Ole Olsen has been the champion of Denmark the most times, winning 12 times from 1967 to 1981.[5][6]

The final of the Danish Championship regularly doubled up as the Danish qualification round for the Speedway World Championship.[7][8]

Since the Speedway Grand Prix era, riders must hold a Danish passport and a valid DMU licence. Any riders who competed in the Speedway Grand Prix during the previous season were seeded direct to the final. The DMU also seeded other riders directly to the final at their discretion.
