International Winners Barcelona throughout the years

It is interesting to notice that in the early days it was always Belgians that won and this has two reasons. Better birds and most pigeons that were entered were Belgian. In the last few years the Dutch were not only victorious but they dominated Barcelona.

Not much detailed information is known about the years prior to 1950 as Barcelona e was not International then and the race did not get much publicity either.

In 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 the Dutch always won and the winning bird was always a hen.

As for the entry and the speed the figures speak for themselves.
