Athletics
42 athletes represented Belgium in 1920. It was the host nation's third appearance in the sport, having not competed in athletics in 1900. The best result for the team was Broos's fourth place finish in the marathon as the Belgians continued to look in vain for their first Olympic medal in the sport.
