Reviewing
the riders who hold the record for the number of their nations
championships, amongst the major speedway nations, (tabled below,)
the success of Ole Olsen and Jiri Stancl Snr. stand out, with an
amazing 12 wins each. The small number of successes for New Zealand's
three World Champions, Moore, Briggs and Mauger, and likewise for
fellow antipodean Jason Crump in their own domestic competitions, -
4x, 2x, 2x, 2x - , is no doubt limited by them wintering elsewhere
rather than returning home.
There
can often be limited rider numbers and hence lesser challenge amongst
some of the minor nations: Matej Zagar's 18th national Slovenian
championship success in 2019 no doubt being in part due to the lack of serious domestic competition.
