Individual Championship

The 2017 Danish Individual Speedway Championship was the 2017 edition of the Danish Individual Speedway Championship.[1] 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.[2] [3]

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.
