Guillermo Douglas belongs to the record of rowing as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.
The record lists Guillermo Douglas as Uruguayan rower.
Guillermo Douglas was born in 1909. His recorded nationality is Uruguay.
Sport professionalised and internationalised around this time; the modern Olympics were young and national federations were only beginning to matter.
He competed at rowing at the 1932 Summer Olympics – men's single sculls.
Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.
That the career was built from Uruguay matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Guillermo Douglas died in 1967, aged 58. The results remain in the record, which is the only permanent form of an athletic career.
