Asunción is a small Guaraní-speaking capital whose non-sporting résumé is the surprise — a thick Model bench and a Diplomat line reflecting the foreign service that survived the Triple Alliance war and the Stroessner years intact. The city sends its daughters to the Milan runways and its sons to the embassies of the Southern Cone, and the athletic gravity underneath is exactly what you'd expect from Paraguay.
