editŠmíd won a silver medal at the Speedway World Team Cup in the 1963 Speedway World Team Cup.[2][3][4]
Like many Czech riders of the time, the Czechsolovak authorities rarely allowed riders to compete for British league teams but they did allow club sides such as Prague to tour the United Kingdom, which allowed Šmíd to race in Britain in 1968.[5]
