The latest edition of the Winter Olympics will start this Friday in Vancouver, Canada. Though some indigenous groups from the Americas have protested the upcoming games, athletes from several Latin American states will be participating in Vancouver this month. We will highlight a few of those competitors this week.
After skipping over the 2006 games, Mexico will have a very unique lone representative at this year’s games. At the age of fifty-one Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe will represent Mexico in the men's slalom. The descendent of Austrian royalty, von Hohenlohe is also a photographer, musician and founder of the Mexican Ski Federation.
