Von Hohlenlohe je pa povsem druga zgodba! Tip je ustanovitelj Mehiške smučarske zveze in za njih tekmuje, živi pa sedaj v Španiji:
Hohenlohe founded the Mexican Ski Federation in 1981 and first skied for Mexico at a Winter Olympics at the 1984 games in Sarajevo. After the 1984 Winter Olympics, Hohenlohe managed to participate in three more Olympic Games. He qualified for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, but the Mexican Olympic Committee decided not to send a one-man team to the Winter Games that year.
Hohenlohe has stated that the only reason why he continues to participate is because it seems that the "exotic skiers" (those from countries without a tradition in winter sports) are disappearing, and that he wants to keep that tradition alive.[citation needed] Since 1982, he has participated in 15 World Championships and set a World Record.[citation needed] Hohenlohe was expected to retire following the 2007 Alpine Skiing World Championships, after breaking his leg during a World Cup slalom race on January 28, 2007, eliminating him from the competition in Åre.[6]
He came back to competition in 2009 and competed in his 12th World Championship, the 2009 Alpine Skiing World Championships.
Hubertus was the sole athlete in the Mexican team at the 2010 Winter Olympics. He participated in two alpine skiing disciplines, the Men's Giant Slalom (78th) and the Men's Slalom (46th).[7] At 51, he was the oldest athlete at the games.[8] He also competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics,[9] where he was Mexico's sole athlete again. He participated in slalom but did not finish after a fall during the first run.[10]
