Álvaro de Figueroa y Alonso-Martínez, 2nd Marquess of Villabrágima (24 December 1893 to 3 November 1959), was a Spanish polo player. He competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics and the 1924 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal in 1920. The English Wikipedia article on him is a short stub that gives only those facts, so this entry keeps to them. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and the Spanish silver of 1920 is the Olympic result for which he is recorded. The article names him with his inherited noble rank, which this entry reproduces.
