Rodman Wanamaker

Rodman Wanamaker (10 October 1899 to 3 February 1976) was an American polo player who won an Olympic medal. He competed in the polo tournament at the 1924 Summer Olympics and received a silver medal there as a member of the United States team. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and it appeared at only a few editions of the Games, so a medal from the 1924 tournament places him among the small group of players who have stood on an Olympic podium in the game. The article this entry rests on is brief and gives his dates and that Olympic result, which is all this entry claims about him.
