1994 Individual Speedway World Championship

The 1994 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 49th edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.[1][2]

It was the last championship to be staged in the traditional single meeting World Final format before the advent of the Speedway Grand Prix series in 1995. The Final was held on 20 August at the Speedway Center in Vojens, Denmark.[3]

Sweden's Tony Rickardsson won the first of what would prove to be a record equalling 6 World Championships, defeating Danish former triple champion Hans Nielsen and Australia's Craig Boyce in a runoff after all three riders finished on 12 points.[4][5]
