Gleb Sergeevich Chugunov (born 17 December 1999) is an international speedway rider from Russia, who rides on a Polish licence.[1]
Speedway career
[edit | edit source]Chugunov won a bronze medal at the Speedway World Cup in the 2017 Speedway World Cup. The following year the competition was rebranded as the Speedway of Nations and Chugunov has twice been credited with a gold medal for being part of the victorious Russian side in 2018 and 2019.
In 2020, he switched his licence and now represents Poland.[2][3] Chugunov controversially revealed that he married a Polish girl in order to obtain a Polish racing licence. The marriage allowed him to race while Russian riders were banned.[4]
He signed for GKM Grudziądz for the 2023 Polish speedway season.[5] After two seasons with Västervik[6] he signed for Indianerna for the 2024 Swedish speedway season.[7]
