Tonight's result from Denmark, http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/2016/08/22/228-dagens-resultat-metal-speedway-league/

Yes I told you so. Björn Oldéen (studio anchor at Cmore speedway broadcasts) mentioned it on twitter last week.

I don't either but I sent an email to SVT who broadcasted it live the last time the it was held in Sweden.

That is correct.Krystian Pieszczek, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Paweł Przedpełski are too old next season. However I am sure Poland have a bunch of new talented riders waiting in the sideline. Kacper Woryna is one (20 years old), Smektala is only 18, Daniel Kaczmarek is 19. So I would think that Poland will have a good team next year as well.

It is called transcription and is used when transcribing names/words between different alphabets. You don't translate "by letter" but by the way the name sounds. Like Emil S, in English it is Emil Sayfutdinov but in Swedish his name is spelled Emil Sajfutdinov. It is the same with the Laguta brothers. In English Artem and Grigory, in Swedish Artiom and Grigorij.

Poland won. https://mobile.twitter.com/VargarnaSW/status/767040248182341634 The podium. https://www.instagram.com/p/BJVp9VegSF6/

Results after 12 heats. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=696825297137894 Kenny Wennerstam crashed in heat 10 and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

I don't know but I think the Swedish league is on an one season at the time contract. No idea about ESP and the SBPC/SEC but Eurosport is one of the main sponsors since the concept includes Esp, so I think ESP will show it for another few years.

Today's result: Munkebo 49 Holstebro 34 http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/2016/08/19/198-dagens-resultat-danmark/ http://www.fyens.dk/sport/Munkebo-Speedway-i-storsejr-over-Holstebro/artikel/3051471

To be honest, Andreas Jonsson, Freddie Lindgren and Antonio Lindbäck all have quitted the Swedish national team at least once each.

T-Rick's comments on the today's status of Swedish speedway: http://www.svt.se/sport/artikel/tony-1 Smederna are the only team that have managed to increase the flow of kids into the sport.

I would choose, Indianerna-Rospiggarna for R1, Piraterna-Dackarna for R2, Dackarna-Indianerna for R3. Then it sort of depends on which meetings are the most interesting ones. It will be Indianerna - Rospiggarna on Tuesday.

Per Jonsson's son Dennis crashed heavily earlier this summer where he suffered a broken neck and a knee injury. His rehabilitation is progressing but despite that he still doesn't know when/if he can ride a bike again so he have decided to end his speedway career. Sad to hear that but a very sensible decision, especially if you have in mind what happened to his father Per. http://www.masarna.nu/2016/08/19/dennis-jonsson-avslutar-karriaren/

I think yes it would more beneficial for Rospiggarna to eliminate Dackarna, both from a opponent strength point of view both also from a financial point of view since Masarna would bring in allot more away fans then what Dackarna would do. Dackarna could not choose Dudek since he was not eligible to be chosen. The team manager can only choose two of the three best scorers (reserves not eligible) so since Dudek only was the fourth best, he wasn't eligible. Daniel King have previously ridden in Sweden for Smederna, Vargarna and Dackarna (maybe 4-5-6 seasons in total) but haven't really been particular successful. Don't know enough about Cooke to comment on him. Rospiggarna's team manager Mikael Teurnberg have previously been heavily involved in Finnish speedway so he have a big fondness of Finnish riders. AFAIK Timo Lahti is registered at Teurnberg's address as well. IMO Teurnberg is a little too "obsessed" with Lahti. When John Lindman was injured in the beginning of the season, Teurberg decided to ignore the agreement to use three Swedish (by citizenship) riders. The Elite teams association (ESS) wasn't too happy and at least considered giving Rospiggarna a fine. Teurnberg was very upset with that and I think he and the club decided to leave the ES (note sure)S. This was very costly for the Rospiggarna if they did since the league winner is awarded 100'000SEK in prize money which is about 9100 GBP. It was the same story last year when Teurnberg used Lahti on Swedish license to circumvent the agreement for three Swedish riders. I definitely dislike Teurnberg's behaviour and I don't know why is so obsessed with Lahti. It also rumoured that Lahti intents to pick up a Swedish citizenship next year. Swedish speedway in on the verge of collapse, lots of Swedish riders are left without a team/squad place but Teurberg (and Dackarna last season) our U21 twc team is the worst ever and the only rider we have in the Ind U21 wc series is in by a wild card. Teurnberg then can't even use three Swedish riders? Why can't he respect the agreement when all other teams can?

Yes but he have both a Swedish and Finnish citizenships, born in Stockholm (Sweden) to Finnish parents. He lived in Sweden until he moved to Andorra. However have Switched licenses twice i think.

Ljung stays with Dackarna. http://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/6902/hjalten-klar-for-fortsattning-i-dackarna/

You clearly didn't understand a word of what iris wrote. If a rider wants to be Swedish in the SGP all the rider need is a Swedish license, while if the same rider wants to represent Sweden in SWC, he/she have to have to be a Swedish citizen with a Swedish passport. Iris' post has nothing to do with whether Tai feels/is British or Australian.

R1 Dackarna - Rospiggarna, Indianerna - Piraterna preliminary, depends on the outcome between Indianerna and Vetlanda. results are 41-42 with one heat remaining. Televised meeting not decided yet. *edit, Indianerna eventually won with 45-44 and will finish 3rd. R1: Indianerna-Rospiggarna, Dackarna-Piraterna.

Yeah I forgot that he have returned home to Hallstavik, he rode many years for Dackarna.

Crash in heat 11 in Kumla. Viktor Bergström rode into Kenny Wennerstam. Both crashed, Viktor Bergström has been taken to hospital by ambulance. He was conscious but complained about back pains. He have feeling his arms and legs but have injured his hand and hit his back. Stay tuned run off for aggregated bonus upcoming. Wennerstam not riding in heat 11 but he could walk back to the pits after the crash. Jonsson vs. Ljung in run off heat 1. Jonsson brings home the bonus point to Rospiggarna.

At least two rights; Ljung as the winner and Dackarna wins the meeting.

While we wait for heat 15, Sweden just defeated Brazil in the Olympic Women's football tournament. Second consecutive shoot out victory.
