Olle Hjortzberg (1872-1959), 'V. Olympiaden', Stockholm 1912

“THE GOLD MEDAL DIPLOMA FOR "THE GREATEST RACE EVER RUN". Arnold Nugent Strode Strode-Jackson CBE DSO (1891–1972) was an exceptional athlete. He rowed and played football and hockey for Brasenose College, won the mile race for Oxford against Cambridge three times, and became President of the Oxford University Athletic Club. In 1912, while still an undergraduate, he was not selected for the Great Britain team, but nonetheless interrupted a fishing holiday in Norway to travel to the Games in Stockholm and compete as a private entry. The 1500 metres was expected to be won by one of several American favourites, but Strode-Jackson came from behind on the last lap (despite having to run wide when three of the Americans sought to block him by running abreast) and won gold in an Olympic record time of 3:56.8. He remains the youngest ever Olympic 1500m gold medalist.” (Source)

Hello!
This time I want to concentrate on older songs! The kind I grew up on as a child. Some I just loved listening to, some were sung at school graduations and so on. I'll probably do a part two of this theme but I hope you enjoy nonetheless!
As usual there are links to both YouTube and Spotify :)
