Arturo Kenny

Arturo Juan Kenny y Gahan (born 12 December 1888) was an Argentine polo player of Irish descent who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the Argentine polo team that won the gold medal at those Games. The English Wikipedia article gives his date of death as unknown and names Santa Fe as his birthplace, while Olympedia records Buenos Aires, so his birthplace is not settled by the sources read for this entry. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and Kenny is recorded in the Argentine squad that took the Olympic title in that sport.
