Source-derived summary

Individual

Individual Championship

The 2017 Danish Individual Speedway Championship was the 2017 edition of the Danish Individual Speedway Championship. The final was staged over a single round, at Fjelsted. For the sixth year in a row, the title was won by Niels Kristian Iversen, who beat Michael Jepsen Jensen, Mikkel Bech and Kenneth Bjerre. It was the first time the title had been won by the same rider for six successive years since 1972, when Ole Olsen managed the feat.

Each rider competed in five rides, with the four top scorers racing in an additional heat. The points from the additional heat were then added to the previous score from the five riders. The winner was the rider who accumulated the most points in all of their rides, and not the rider who won the additional heat.

Team

Danish Speedway League

The Danish Speedway League was won by Fjelsted for the fifth time, despite finishing third in the regular season table.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as season of speedway in Denmark. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55393451. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 1972.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
