Ice Speedway of Nations explained

The FIM Ice Speedway of Nations, formerly known as the Ice Speedway Team World Championship, is an international ice speedway competition, first held in Kalinin (Tver), USSR, in 1979.^[1] Since its establishment, the tournament has been noted by a continued Russian dominance: the Soviet Union, Commonwealth of Independent States and Russia have won all but three tournaments. The only non-Russian teams to have won were West Germany in 1983, and Sweden - in 1985, 1995 and 2002.^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}

The event has not been held since 2020 initially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
