历届奥运回顾：1920安特卫普奥运会

　由于刚刚经历了世界大战，因此本届奥运会的开幕式不同寻常。在8月14日运动会开幕的当天上午，由比利时大主教在安特卫普市中心的教堂举行弥撒，以悼念大战中丧生的奥运名将。下午才在安特卫普运动场内举行了正式的开幕仪式。比利时国王阿尔伯特陛下宣布开幕后，大会第一次升起了由顾拜旦1913年设计的奥林匹克会旗；随后，一群象征和平的各自腾空而起，在场地上空盘旋飞翔，这也是奥运史上第一批和平鸽...

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? 诞生了哪几个第一次？

　　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.

　　由顾拜旦设计的，印有五环标志象征五大洲紧密相连的奥林匹克旗帜首次在体育场升起；第一次采用了运动员宣誓仪式；也是第一次放飞了象征和平的鸽子.
