When Jo onWins, Bell's onTop! This was Stenlund 's second t itle; the first came in 1984 in Moscow. Stenlund celebrates w ith his teammates after taking the title. land's Jarmo Hirvasja , beat the best in th e earl ier rounds but ended hi s ho pes when he fell in his third ride against Stenlund and Ru ssian Sergi Kasa kov, After H irvasja went out, form er champ Kasakov fell on the restart. Sunday provided the best raci ng as the ice wasn 't as ha rd and it was al so raining, giving be tter grip for the riders. Stenlund and Jeri Ivanov met in the event ful hea t 31 aft er wh ich the Swede had a one-point . ad vantage. If only Ivanov had kep t his head in that vi tal clash and settled for secon d place the n he would have had a crack at Sten lu nd in a runoff, bu t that wasn't to be and with bo th riders having just o ne race left, it on ly ma ttered that Stenlund did n 't drop a point. That's just what ha ppened in race 37. Stenlund was . p i tt ed ·aga ins t R ussians Ra is Mustafin and Sergi Ksakov, although help was at hand for him from Swede Per O laf Serenius. Stenlund didn't need help as he shot from the gate to take the lead, chased very closely by Kasakov who overcooked it on the th ird lap to give the titl e to Stenl und. The most cheers came from a large contingent of English supports who gave Kiwi Bruce Cribb a great ova tion on the occasion of reaching his first Wor ld Championship Final at the ag e of 41. In Cribb's case , however, th e a ttention was much like that given to Olympic ski jumper Eddie "T he Eagle" Edwards, both got the most applause but finished last. • Results FINAL: 1.
