Eustaquio Escandón

José Eustaquio Luis Francisco Escandón y Barrón was a Mexican polo player who won a bronze medal at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. Born in Paris on 25 January 1862 into a very wealthy family in the wool industry, he played for the Mexican team alongside his brothers Manuel and Pablo and Guillermo Hayden Wright. The tournament had five teams, and Mexico, the only side without a club name, lost its single match to the BLO Polo Club Rugby yet finished tied for third with the Bagatelle Polo Club de Paris. Because the rules named no third place playoff, both sides were awarded third place, and the Mexican bronze was recognised only later, when earlier results were revised to current medal rules. He died on 22 December 1933.
