Does the name Victor Boin ring a bell? He is one of the greatest Belgian sportsmen of all time. At the start of the 20th century, he competed 4 times in the Olympic Games and won 3 medals. And this Brusselaar was more than a sportsman. He is the founder of the sports press syndicate, the Paralympic Committee, the Queen Elisabeth Competition. And he is a true war hero.
