There's a new highlight at the Olympics, meet Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe:

Firstly he's a german prince born in mexico(thus competing as Mexico's only winter olympian since 1928), and at 55 he's the 2nd oldest winter olympian ever.

"Von Hohenlohe is a photographer. Here he is posing at one of his many gallery showings. At this particular 2005 show, titled "It's Me!", every photo featured von Hohenlohe." - deadspin

"Von Hohenlohe is a pop star. Performing under the names Royal Disaster and Andy Himalaya, he has released eight albums. Here's 2013's "Higher Than Mars." - deadspin

In addition he's related to the Agnelli family(founder of Fiat and owner of Juventus). Oh and to top it all off he's fluent in 5 languages.

There's a shitload more about him but I'm too lazy to copy more across, either way, he definitely deserves the title of most fascinating Olympian.

When the olympics were in Sydney there was a competitor from a country with no 50m pools. He had to train in the 20m pool at a hotel. This was the result:

This Mexican dude might attract a similar level of support and encouragement, although it sounds like he can actually ski. At least he wont have to beat Jon Olsen.
