The photograph was presented in C.N. 5780 by John Donaldson (Berkeley, CA, USA), and we hope to identify as many of the figures as possible. For the partial key above, assistance has been received from Mr Donaldson, as well as Leonard Barden (London), Calle Erlandsson (Lund, Sweden), Bent Kølvig (Rødovre, Denmark) and Luc Winants (Boirs, Belgium).
The Amsterdam Olympiad took place in September 1954, with 26 teams: Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Saar, Soviet Union, Sweden, Switzerland, West Germany and Yugoslavia.
