SCANDINAVIAN SMILES

Denmark and Sweden take their places in the Speedway World Cup Final on Saturday after triumphing in the Race-Off at Vojens tonight.

SGP star Kenneth Bjerre pipped Andreas Jonsson in a last-heat decider to win the meeting for the hosts by one point.

But both Scandinavian nations return to the Danish venue again in two days and they will meet Event One winners Poland and Event Two victors Team Great Britain in the fight for the Ove Fundin Trophy.

A young Australian side missed out on 36 points, while a tenacious Russian team acquitted themselves well on 19.
