The Flying Dutchman (Letuchiy Gollandets) from the collection Wheel (Koleso) belongs to the forgotten part of Andrei Bitov’s memoir-like prose. This short story stands as an epitaph for a Soviet speedway rider Gennadiy Vyunov. In his story, Bitov adds some sacred value to both speedway and the particular rider, until the sport becomes  a supernatural phenomenon. The given article aims at analyzing the story and the means used to conduct the sacralization process on various levels: the plot, the language, the complex of intertextual relations, and therefore, presenting the unknown side of the well-known author of Pushkin House.

The article analyzes the participation of Polish athletes in the World Speedway Pair Championships (1971 –1981). The article is located on the border between the history of sport and biography (collective portrait). Not only the conditions of purely sports rivalry were taken into account, but also the influence of ideology, pressure of the communist party and national/industry sports associations (e.g. PZM/Polish Motor Association and GKSŻ/Main Speedway Sport Commission). A collective portrait of Polish athletes was also drawn, exposing the most outstanding figures, such as Andrzej Wyględa, Paweł Waloszek, Antoni Woryna, Jerzy Szczakiel, Edward Jancarz and Zenon Plech. The article is based on sources (sports and daily/party press) and subject literature. Research methods specific to historical sciences were used.

The article presents the image of the speedway rider, identified with the medieval knight and preserved in the language and works of speedway fans. The language material was excerpted from the slogans, songs etc. of the black sport fans and their statements, published in fan song books and online forums. The linguistic resource was enriched with terminology and professional vocabulary. Speedway supporters have been identifying speedway riders with medieval warriors for years, naming them the knights of the black track. The knight’s nickname refers to the speedway riders’ outfit, resembling an armour, to the speedway motorcycle, compared to a steed and other analogies, thus creating a stereotype of the knight speedway rider which functions among the black sport fans. The observations prove that such an image determines the fan environmental lexis that operates with many neosemantics, such as the rider, the Teutonic Knights, the armour etc. connoting tradition and culture of medieval knights.

Artykuł przedstawia wizerunek żużlowca, utożsamianego ze średniowiecznym rycerzem, utrwalony w języku oraz twórczości kibiców wyścigów na żużlu. Materiał językowy wyekscerpowano z haseł, piosenek etc. fanów czarnego sportu oraz z ich wypowiedzi, zamieszczonych w kibicowskich śpiewnikach oraz na forach internetowych. Zasób lingwistyczny wzbogacono o terminologię i słownictwo zawodowe. Miłośnicy speedwaya od lat identyfikują zawodników ze średniowiecznymi wojami, nazywając sportowców rycerzami czarnego toru. Rycerski przydomek nawiązuje między innymi do stroju żużlowców – kombinezonu, przypominającego zbroję, żużlowego motocykla, porównywanego z rumakiem oraz innych analogii, tworząc stereotyp żużlowca-rycerza, funkcjonujący wśród kibiców czarnego sportu. Jak wynika z przeprowadzonych obserwacji, wizerunek ów determinuje także kibicowską leksykę środowiskową, operującą wieloma neosemantyzmami, jak jeździec, Krzyżacy, zbroja etc., konotującymi tradycję i kulturę rycerzy średniowiecza.
