- ^ a b After Puerto Rico’s Madeline de Jesus came up lame while competing in the long jump, she was unable to run in the 4 × 400-meter relay at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Madeline enlisted her identical twin sister, Margaret, as an imposter for a qualifying heat. Margaret ran the second leg of the qualifier, and the team advanced. When the chief coach of the Puerto Rican team learned of the ruse, however, he pulled his team out of the final.
