Hubertus von Hohenlohe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe-Langenburg (born 2 February 1959 in Mexico City) is a Mexican Alpine skier. The descendant of a dethroned royal family from a former principality in what is now Germany, Hubertus von Hohenlohe, who is also a pop singer (also known as Andy Himalaya), photographer, and businessman, first skied for Mexico at the 1984 Olympic Games in Sarajevo.

A son of Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe and Princess Ira von Fürstenberg, Hubertus von Hohenlohe was born in Mexico, country of which his paternal grandmother was a native, too. He is fluent in several languages, and grew up in Europe; mainly Austria, country of which he is also a citizen. Hubertus has a brother named Christoph. He currently resides in Liechtenstein

Hubertus founded the Mexican Ski Federation to be able to participate in international competitions representing that country. The first time that he skied for Mexico was in the 1984 Winter Olympics. He managed to participate at the Olympics in 3 more occasions; 1988 in Calgary, 1992 in Albertville, and 1994 in Lillehammer. Hubertus qualified for Torino 2006 but the Mexican Olympic Committee decided not to send a one man team to the Winter Games that year.

Hubertus has stated that the only reason why he continues participating is because it seems that the "exotic skiers" (those from countries without tradition in winter sports) are disappearing, and that he wants to maintain that tradition alive. Throughout his career, since 1982, he has participated in 11 World Cups, and is also the first winter athlete from Mexico. Unfortunately, Hubertus is expected to retire following the 2007 Alpine Skiing World Championships.
