Belgium at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics

Belgium at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships is an overview of the Belgian results at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. The only times that cyclo-cross racers appear in proper national selections of one or multiple sportsmen are the yearly UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. Because of this, all Belgian national cyclo-cross teams (either elite or younger teams) only compete as such during one day per year. As of 2014, Belgium's national manager of the men's elite selection is Rudy De Bie.As of 1 February 2014, Belgium obtained most gold medals in the men's elite race and the men's races for under-23 and under-18 (=Juniors, leading together with the Netherlands). Belgium's most successful competitor in elite races was Eric De Vlaeminck, with 7 gold medals. The nation's first medal, a silver, was earned by Firmin Van Kerrebroeck in the men's elite race in 1957.

38 athletes (32 men and 6 women) from Belgium competed at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta, United States.

Held every four years since 1960, in the even-numbered year between World Cup tournaments, it was originally called the UEFA European Nations Cup, changing to the current name in 1968. Starting with the 1996 tournament, specific championships are often referred to in the form "Euro 2008" or whichever year is appropriate. Prior to entering the tournament all teams other than the host nations (which qualify automatically) compete in a qualifying process.Belgium have participated in five UEFA European Football Championships finals, those held in 1972, 1980, 1984, 2000 and 2016.

Belgium was present at the Eurovision Song Contest 1986, held in Bergen, Norway.The Belgian national final to select their entry, Eurovision '86, was held on 2 March at the RTBF-TV Studios in Brussels, and was hosted by Patrick Duhamel. The winning song was decided by the following formula: 50% of the final tabulation would come from 12 "music experts" and 50% would come from 500 random Belgians polled to make up a fair segment of the Belgian population.For 1986 (like in other even-numbered years), the Walloon broadcaster in Belgium, Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF), took responsibility for Eurovision song selection. As a result, all of the competing songs for 1986 were sung in French.The winning entry was "J'aime la vie," performed by Sandra Kim, composed by Jean Paul Furnémont and Angelo Crisci, with lyrics written by Rosario Marino.

Belgium participated in the 1994 Winter Paralympics in Lillehammer, Norway. The country sent two competitors (Harry Geyskens and Willy Mercier), both in alpine skiing. They entered a total of seven events between them.The 1994 Games were the first (and so far only) Winter Paralympics at which Belgium earned a medal. In the men's Super-G (B1 category), Willy Mercier finished third with a real time of 4:29.09. This was well behind gold medallist David Sundstroem of Sweden (2:50.53) and silver medallist Vicente Garcia Salmeron of Spain (3:46.33), but as the five other competitors all failed to reach the finish line, Mercier's performance was sufficient for bronze.In five of their six other events, Mercier and Geyskens either failed to reach the finish line, or finished last of those who crossed the line. The exception was in the men's Super-G (B3), where Geyskens' time of 1:55.67 placed him sixth of the seven athletes who completed the event, ahead of Japan's Toshimasa Onari (2:29.80).Despite having won its first Winter Paralympic medal, Belgium was absent from the next two Games, making its return in 2006.
