The tenth anniversary voting for Szczakiele – the PGE Ekstraliga awards summarizing the season of the best speedway league in the world – has been extended until the conclusion of the return matches for this season’s medals. Meanwhile, on October 11, the PGE Ekstraliga speedway awards will be presented to players and coaches. The PGE Ekstraliga Gala will be held then, with the broadcast starting at 8:00 PM on CANAL+ Sport and CANAL+ online.
At the season-ending PGE Ekstraliga Gala, as every year, we will meet the heroes of the 2024 season.
The eliminations that allowed the selection of candidates for the Surprise of the 2024 Season in the PGE Ekstraliga have already concluded. The pre-selection of candidates (the sum of votes from fans on the Speedway Ekstraliga and CANAL+ Speedway Facebook profiles) resulted in five candidates being chosen.
In other categories of Szczakiele 2024, fans have been voting since September 8 on ekstraliga.pl and in the Ekstraliga App, selecting from the TOP-8 riders based on their average points per race after the regular season. In the coach/manager category, fans will vote for eight coaches/managers of the teams that competed in the 2024 PGE Ekstraliga.
Additionally, awards will be presented in the following categories: Race of the Season (selected by the CANAL+ speedway editorial team), Golden Szczakiel – the PGE Ekstraliga award, Team of the 2024 Season (DMP 2024), and the U24 Ekstraliga 2024 winner.
