   Reviewing the riders who hold the record for the number of their nations championships, the success of Ole Olsen and Jiri Stancl Snr. stand out, with an amazing 12 wins each. In the UK Barry Briggs and Scott Nicolls have each won the British Championship 6 times, the former when Commonwealth riders were included, i.e. to 1974.  

   The small number of successes for New Zealand's three World Champions, Moore, Briggs and Mauger, and likewise for fellow antipodean Jason Crump in their own domestic competitions, - 4x, 2x, 2x, 2x - , is no doubt limited by them wintering elsewhere rather than returning home.
