Five points from his remaining heats saw Zmarzlik into the semis and he followed Lindgren home in semi-final one to reach the last four.<\/p>\n<p>Having been forced to battle for his victory, Zmarzlik was delighted to turn his night around.

The speedway community across Poland has been working hard to fund a vital hip operation for nine-year-old Torun child Kuba Byra, who suffers with cerebral palsy.<\/p>\n<p>The operation costs 130,000 PLN (around \u20ac30,000), and another 40,000 PLN (around \u20ac9,350) was required to reach the total.

Asked about the prospect of sealing title No.5 at the legendary venue, Zmarzlik knows he isn\u2019t the only rider with big ambitions for Denmark\u2019s biggest speedway event. He said: \u201cEveryone will 100 percent want to win the GP. I also want to do a good job and stay in front.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2770\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2770\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2770 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-07-at-19.39.20-large.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-07-at-19.39.20-large.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-07-at-19.39.20-large-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-07-at-19.39.20-large-768x512.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lindgren (right) battles with Poland&#8217;s Szymon Wozniak.
