Biography

Capozzo was born in the United States and died in Valle Hermoso, Córdoba Province, Argentina. In 1948 he was eliminated in the semi-finals of the single sculls event. Four years later he won the gold medal in double sculls competition with Eduardo Guerrero. That was for 52 years the last gold medal at Olympics for Argentina until the victories of Soccer and Basketball men teams at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

gollark: Ah, an optional curried indicator in the signature would work well.
gollark: Does your thing support weirdness like varreturns?
gollark: I mean, you could possibly make `sign` or whatever add the currying thing without affecting normal (non-vararg) use.
gollark: It kind of conflicts with varargs, but you know.
gollark: (Auto)currying, that is.
