History

As Czechoslovakia

The Czechoslovakia speedway team (which consisted predominantly of Czech Republic riders) competed in the inaugural Speedway World Team Cup during the 1960 Speedway World Team Cup and won the bronze medal after finishing third in the final.[1] Throughout the history of World Team Cup, the team were regular World Cup contenders from 1960 until their final World Cup in 1992.[2] They reached the final on fourteen occasions, winning the silver medal in 1963 and two more bronze medals in 1977 and 1979.[3][4] In addition to the four medals at the World Cup, the team won a bronze medal at the Speedway World Pairs Championship.

Following the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia at the end of 1992, the riders then competed for their new speedway nations of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

As the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic national team competed in their first World Team Cup in the 1993 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing in 7th place. The team continued to compete at the highest level, reaching the World Team Cup finals in 1997 and 1998 and winning a silver medal in 1999. From 2001, the competition was rebranded the Speedway World Cup and the Czech Republic reached their fourth and fifth finals in 2002 and 2013.

The team also won the European Pairs Speedway Championship on five occasions and have since reached the finals of the 2020 Speedway of Nations and 2022 Speedway of Nations.

International caps

Since the advent of the Speedway Grand Prix era, international caps earned by riders is largely restricted to international competitions, whereas previously test matches between two teams were a regular occurrence. This means that the number of caps earned by a rider has decreased in the modern era.[5]
