# 1970 Individual Speedway World Championship

The 1970 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 25th edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.
Ivan Mauger became the first rider to win the title in three consecutive years, his five ride 15 point maximum took him to third in the all-time list behind Ove Fundin and Barry Briggs. The Poles Paweł Waloszek and Antoni Woryna took silver and bronze respectively in their home nation at the Olympic Stadium.

## Format changes

The format of the Championship changed again for the 1970 event. This time the Polish riders were allowed six places in the World Final to be held in Poland. All other nations had to go through the European Final route to provide the remaining 10 riders for the World Final.
