A month ago, on this blog we talked about a biography about an Argentine footballer who was known by the nickname โThe Vascoโ. ย โThe Vasco from Saladilloโ was the name of the book and Julio Jorge Olarticoechea was the name of the subject of the book.
Now, weโve found out that this Argentine Basque has been named the man who will select the national team that will represent Argentina in the Rio Olympic Games.
We wanted to make sure to give you the link to this article about this athlete on the ABC Saladilloโs website where the Vasco from Saladillo explains how he received the news of being named the man to select the Argentine National Olympic team, his humble origins, and his telling how he was buying lettuce for a roast when he was given the news!
