LAST COPIES AVAILABLE! On April 20, 1920, the seventh Summer Olympic Games opened in Antwerp's brand-new Kiel stadium. For Belgium, it was a kind of compensation for the tragedy of the Great War, which had just ravaged its soil and its people. The 1920 Olympic Games welcomed some 2,626 athletes from 29 countries, competing in 24 different disciplines. The seventh Olympiad was rich in novelties.
