The Mexican Winter Olympic contingency is small.

This might be expected for a country that sees very little, if any, snowfall during the year. With its positioning south of the Rio Grande river, below Texas, it generally gets snow only in the high altitude, mountainous areas.

Its Winter Olympics team consists of one person, skier Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe represented Mexico in the men's slalom.According to Wikipedia, Hohenlohe previously competed in 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1994.He is apparently a descendant of Austrian royalty, and also Mexican nobility on his father's maternal side, and founded Mexico's skiing federation in 1981.

And he will probably be the most peculiarly dressed skier of the day when he makes his way down the hill.

Hohenlohe has had a ski suit fashioned in the likeness of a Mariachi. The 55-year-old athlete has been making the rounds through social media and has amassed somewhat of a following with his likeness being shared rampantly across the Internet.

How will he perform in Sochi? Well, he is the second oldest athlete at the games, and when he made his Olympic debut in 1984 he was the first Mexican athlete in the games since the first Winter Olympics in 1928 when the nation fielded a five-man bobsledding team.

For Hohenlohe it is actually a step up in classy attire, when he took to the slopes in Canada (and was the oldest competitor in the games) he wore a suit that depicted pistols and ammo, a "Bandido of the slopes" so to speak.

The Sochi Olympic games will begin on Feb. 7 and continue through Feb. 28. On the serious side of the games are concerns of possible terrorist threats to athletes and spectators alike. The host nation of Russia says that it is confident in being able to adequately protect the visiting athletes and fans.
