2ndBender Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 OK, following on from June01's successfully answered recent query, can anyone help with this one? I've got a programme from the 1988 Continental Quarter-Final at Rovno which contains a Polish-typed scoresheet. A certain 'K. Swinkin' of the Soviet Union raced at reserve and scored 2 points. I cannot find any reference to this rider in any of the usual sources. Anyone got any ideas? What is his first name? Is his surname correct?

June01 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I would think that is Constantine/Konstantin Svinkin, 1987 Russian U21 Champion. Edit: sadly commemorated in the speedway memorial website http://speedwayinmemoriam.yolasite.com Edited February 18, 2016 by June01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndBender Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Wow, June01, that was quick....! I never, ever thought to check that site. It looks like his tragic death happened a mere TWO DAYS after the Rovno meeting. How very, very sad. Thanks for plugging a gap in my database.
