Celina Liebmann

Liebmann, born in Wasserburg am Inn, grew up in a speedway family because her father Jürgen Liebmann was an ice speedway racer. She initially rode through the classes of 125cc and 250cc, winning the 250cc German Championship in 2016.^[1] She moved up to 500 cc in 2019 and in 2022, became the first woman to compete in a Speedway Under-21 World Championship event, when she rode in a round of the 2022 SGP2.^[3]

In December 2023, she made history by becoming the first woman to sign for a British speedway team, when agreeing a deal with the Workington Comets for the SGB Championship 2024 season.^[4][5]
