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.

To identify and stop the next potential pandemic, government disease detectives have been discreetly searching for viral pathogens in wastewater from airplanes. Experts are worried that these efforts may not be enough.
