Mexico with a modest participation in the Winter Olympic Games and with little positive results, since the national representative in nine appearances in the winter games has not achieved any medal. Tournaments in which countries with colder climates dominate almost all disciplines, it is not surprising that Norway, Canada, Finland or Sweden dominate the medal tables.
In any case, access to a final round by a Mexican is the most remarkable in the national Olympics.

What could win?
Sports incentives have been in controversy in the current federal administration, however, Donovan Carrillo could access a scholarship awarded by the National Sports Commission that varies depending on the result.
For the athletes who participate in the Olympic Games, the economic figures range from 9 thousand pesos for the 16th place and up to 55 thousand pesos for achieving the gold medal.
With his classification to Beijing in April 2021, the athlete based in León, Guanajuato, receives a scholarship of 30 thousand pesos per month, but this figure would be adjusted based on his result.
“For those athletes who have obtained a nominal place in the Olympic/Paralympic Games, the amount will be 30,000 pesos per month, later the amount of the scholarship will be re-tabulated to the amount corresponding to the result obtained in the tabulator in force at the time of the event that is the object of the scholarship” , details the document in the Official Gazette of the Federation.
