歷屆奧運回顧：1920安特衛普奧運會

　由于剛剛經歷了世界大戰，因此本屆奧運會的開幕式不同尋常。在8月14日運動會開幕的當天上午，由比利時大主教在安特衛普市中心的教堂舉行彌撒，以悼念大戰中喪生的奧運名將。下午才在安特衛普運動場內舉行了正式的開幕儀式。比利時國王阿爾伯特陛下宣布開幕后，大會第一次升起了由顧拜旦1913年設計的奧林匹克會旗；隨后，一群象征和平的各自騰空而起，在場地上空盤旋飛翔，這也是奧運史上第一批和平鴿...

ANTWERP  1920 Games of the VII Olympiad

　　The 1916 Olympics were scheduled to be held in Berlin, but were canceled because of what came to be known as World War I. The 1920 Games were awarded to Antwerp to honor the suffering that had been inflicted on the Belgian people during the war. The Opening Ceremony was notable for the introduction of the Olympic flag and the presentation of the Athletes'Oath.

　　In a performance unequaled in Olympic history, Nedo Nadi of Italy earned gold medals in five of the six fencing events. Ethelda Bleibtrey of the United States won gold medals in all three women's swimming contests. Including preliminary heats, she swam in five races and broke the world record in every one. France's Suzanne Lenglen dominated women's tennis singles so completely that she lost only four games in the ten sets she played. The first race was staged in Belgium, but the last two races took place in the Netherlands because both entrants were Dutch.

Do You Know? 誕生了哪幾個第一次？

　　First use of the Olympic flag with the five rings signifying the union of five continents, created by Baron de Coubertin; the first time a competitor took the Olympic oath and the first release of doves as a symbol of peace.

　　由顧拜旦設計的，印有五環標志象征五大洲緊密相連的奧林匹克旗幟首次在體育場升起；第一次采用了運動員宣誓儀式；也是第一次放飛了象征和平的鴿子.
