Mexico hasn't had a figure skater compete at the Olympics since the 1992 Winter Games when Riccardo Olavarrieta and Diana Encinas fought for gold. On Tuesday, Donovan Carrillo ended the country's dry spell by competing in the men's short program in Beijing.
"Many people told me during the beginning of my career that this was a crazy dream," Carrillo said, according to the Olympics website. "People were always laughing or telling me it wasn't possible for a Mexican to qualify."
The 22-year-old figure skater's performance on Tuesday qualified him to advance to the free skate, which makes him the first ever figure skater from Mexico to do so, the Olympics website said.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
