The golden Italian team of the team pursuit in the Garden City Velodrome during the 1920 Summer Olympics (Franco Giorgetti, Ruggero Ferrario, Arnaldo Carli and Primo Magna). Located in the Wilrijk district, the Garden City Velodrome was ceremonially opened on June 28, 1914, the day of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria, which sparked a World War in which the cycling track was hardly used.
