About 100 Years Since Estonia’s First Olympic Victory (Silver Stamp)

Estonia’s debut at the Olympic games in 1920 was a success – three medals were won at the VII Olympic games in Antwerp.

The victory was indisputable as Neuland’s results were the best in all three lifts: 72.5 kg in one hand snatch, 75 kg in one hand clean and jerk and 110 kg in two hands clean and jerk.
