Argentina suffers an incurable addiction to sport: its males go cold turkey at the thought of even one week without football, and you'll hear informed and spirited debate in bars on sports as diverse as rugby and the uniquely Argentine equestrian sport of pato. The country has few exports as prestigious and reliable as its polo and football players, but other sports have produced stars that have risen to conquer the world stage, typically delighting spectators with their flamboyance in the process - people such as Guillermo Vilas and Gabriela Sabatini in tennis, who reached their peak in the 1970s and 1980s, respectively; Carlos MonzA?n in boxing; and the legendary motor-racing driver, Juan Manuel Fangio Other useful information
