 Angelita Lind
Known as "The Angel of Puerto Rico", Angelita was born into a poor family and received her primary and secondary education in her hometown.
Angelita's feet were crossing the finish line, but because the Cuban fell into Angelita from behind, it was the Cuban who actually crossed the finish line first; after a prolonged discussion which reached the central offices of the International Athletic Federation, it was decided that Angelita arrived second.
Angelita's "fall" united the people of Puerto Rico and for the first time, they forgot about the fight between the Olympic Committee and the government and concentrated on the sport - these events also served to inspire future runners.

 Music for Guitar Solos
A famous Swedish hymn from the repertoire of Jenny Lind, the "Swedish Nightingale," is transformed into a gorgeous guitar solo by Jan-Olof Eriksson.
Don Celedonio Romero, one of the most influential guitarists of the century, wrote this charming tango in 1933 to attract the attention of Angelita (Ines de los Angeles Gallego Molina), the woman who became his wife and the mother of his brilliant sons.
