Till now, the results of the 1920 Olympics held in Antwerp,
Belgium, have been far from complete. The Antwerp organizing
committee published an official report (actually just a typed copy)
of the results almost as an afterthought because it was so
financially strapped after the games. For some events only the
medalists are listed, with little, if any, additional information.
Very few copies were ever printed, and those few copies were in
French.The seventh in a series on the early Olympics, this work
fills a gap in the recording of early Olympics history by providing
complete results for all competitors and all events (except for
shooting, which has only partial information due to the obscurity
of the results). In virtually all cases, a 1920 source has been
used in preference to a more modern source of information, and all
details have been fully researched in contemporary newspapers,
journals, and magazines and checked for accuracy by experts on
various sports from all over the world.The appendices include a
schedule of events and festivities for the 1920 Olympics,
information on World War I and Olympians, a tentative schedule of
events that had been planned for the 1916 Olympic Games (which
never took place because of the war), and information on the 1919
Inter-Allied Games.
