      Right. Seems like something few would know if they didn't look it up.

        I just got back from a trip to Argentina, what a great country! Especially if you like beef.

          I DID not look it up. I don't know a lot, but a few things I do know.

            Didn't mean to imply you did.. congrats on correct guess. Oldtimers might remember the 2 winners - possibly the only medals the country has ever claimed in The Games??
