Sullivan could soon be representing Poland

Share:

Ryan Sullivan, one of Australia’s leading speedway stars, is weighing up whether or not to take Polish citizenship, following his marriage to a Pole last autumn. In theory, this means he could switch colours and represent Poland in future Team World Cup competitions - but in order to do so, he’d need to get a Polish speedway license and that means passing an exam set in Polish, something he’d reportedly struggle with.

While it seems unlikely Sullivan might switch national teams at this point in is career, a possible motivation is his spiky relationship with Aussie number one, Jason Crump. Their battles in the Polish speedway league are one of the main attractions.
