1975 Individual Speedway World Championship
The 1975 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 30th edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.
Ole Olsen won his second World title in front of 81,000 at Wembley Stadium in London with a 15-point maximum from his five rides. Defending champion Anders Michanek finished second and England's John Louis won the run-off for the bronze medal, defeating four time world champion Ivan Mauger. Some criticism was aimed at the track surface which was described as dusty and dry.
