Guillermo Hayden Wright

Equestrian Sports

Guillermo Hayden Wright (12 February 1872 to 1949), or more accurately William Hayden Wright, was an American polo player at the 1900 Summer Olympics. He was part of the Mexican polo team that won the bronze medal, alongside the brothers Eustaquio, Manuel and Pablo Escandón. That year's tournament had five teams, most of mixed nationality: the Bagatelle Polo Club de Paris, the BLO Polo Club Rugby, the Compiegne Polo Club, the eventual winners Foxhunters Hurlingham, and the Mexican team, the only one without a club name. The Mexican team lost its only game against BLO Polo Club Rugby but was tied with Bagatelle, and because the rules provided no play-off both were awarded third place; the bronze medal was recognised only later, when earlier results were updated.
