Albania refused to play against Israel and withdrew after 11 rounds. The Belgian team did well in the preliminary and managed to qualify for the B final after a surprising 3-1 victory over Cuba. There they had a disappointing run but managed to avoid last place after a 2½-1½ victory against Peru. After the previous olimpiad, Boey managed another IM-norm (Perf: 2482) on first board. He and Cornelis missed the last 6 and 7 rounds of the B-final, respectively, which might explain the lesser results of the Belgian team. This was the first olimpiad with Elo-ratings. Here are the round-by-round results. All information comes from [1].
