Enrique Padilla

Enrique Padilla (born 12 June 1890, date of death unknown) was an Argentine polo player who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics, where he was part of the Argentine polo team that won the gold medal. 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 1924 Olympic tournament, in which the Argentine side took the title, was one of the few times the sport formed part of the Games. His Olympic gold medal is the achievement for which he is recorded.
