Wolverhampton Olympique

The Wolverhampton Olympique was an individual motorcycle speedway event that was hosted annually in the Midlands.

[1] The event was first run in October 1966 by the Newcastle Diamonds club at their home venue Brough Park.

At the time both Newcastle Diamonds and Wolverhampton Wolves were owned by the same promoter Mike Parker.

In 1969, Parker sold his interest in Newcastle Diamonds and a number of his assets were transferred to Wolverhampton Wolves, two of which were the Olympique event and the licence of speedway rider Ole Olsen.

The last Olympique was held in 2023, because Monmore Green's owners Entain announced that the venue would only be used by greyhound racing during 2024.
