Juan Gracia

Equestrian Sports

Juan Gracia Zazueta (18 April 1901 to 13 October 1981) was a Mexican polo player who competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics. Born in Quiriego, Sonora, he was the captain of the Mexican polo team that won the bronze medal, and he played all three matches of the tournament. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief, so this entry keeps to those facts. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and the Mexican bronze of 1936 is the Olympic result for which he is recorded.
