ladyluck Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 The Usa u21 team travelled from LAX to Ukraine ... once in the uK they then endured a 80hr roundtrip by road with the dedicated help of people from the UK and had various challenges leading upto the event and during but they did it and raced/. Credit to the whole team.... so if its important enough he will get there ...,however perhaps the question is why on earth the FIM send youngsters to such far flung places which is cleary unreasonable and very expensive. Equally these young lads probably wont know or have been aware of local information (such as what happens at borders / hiring of vehicles etc ) in order to enter the country.. sadly the boys are left to fend for themsleves unless they have a team that are willing to do the work for them. Hopefully they will have what they need and will have some success on the day. Good Luck to them The UK hasn't even entered a team for the Under-21 SWC. so the Americans did better than the Brits at that. As I mentioned in a previous post, there'll be no New Zealander in Chervonograd. The place initially allocated to New Zealand has been passed to Poland and Piotr Pawlicki.

Just need to have the right paperwork. Team USA was at the borders for no more than an hour each way. Need to get in contact with Alex of the Ukrainian Federation. He was a big help to the guys who travelled. It is best to try to travel in the Ukraine during the daylight as the roads are not that good to say the least. But on the plus side the people were friendly and tried to help the best they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyluck Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Can't imagine Alex at the Federation being too chuffed at getting a call from Tomasz from Poland asking him to sort out a border crossing for him and a couple of mates coming to watch a meeting.

I am not sure, but Lviv have big problems with finance SKA-Favorit Lviv team want to organise races in Chervonograd, but have problems with stadium permission In my opinion it will not be Ukraine league this year ... May be one match with three-four teams ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) After a long break - 20 years later, October 15, 2011, in Voznesensk (Mykolaiv region) will meeting Speedway Ukraine Pairs Championship. There will also be held the Speedway Ukraine Cup. Interview with Anatoly Mironov on the preparation of the track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE1ffgg2VzM...player_embedded Let me remind you that Anatoly Mironov in February 1974, he moved from Balakovo in Voznesensk and became captain of a new club - "Voshod" (Voznesensk). English fans may remember the speedway Anatoly Mironov on the Soviet national team appearances in England in 1971. He then started in all five races, and at Wimbledon and Halifax was the best part of the Soviet team, gaining 14 and 15 points. A little later, on October 2, 1971, photo by Anatoly Mironov came out on the cover Speedway Star: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IEFM5IC0 Edited October 13, 2011 by Gorka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Does anyone know, Gray or Gorka, is speedway finished for good in the Ukraine ? Just a handfull of meetings all year long, and no Ukrainian individual, team or junior championships ? There is no more speedway at L'viv and now next to no racing at Rivne and Chervonograd as well. Tsukanov has already gone home to Russia, and Loktaev is now also set to return to Russia, which leaves Andriy Karpov as the lone top rider in the Ukraine. What can we expect from Ukrainian speedway in 2014 ? Will there be any speedway at all in the Ukraine next year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 What can we expect from Ukrainian speedway in 2014 ? Will there be any speedway at all in the Ukraine next year ? 1-3 meetings, I think (not more) also may be 1-2 international meetings (FIM or UEM) and some oldboy racing in Voznesensk and Chervonograd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
