Listicle - why my new stalking obsession is Prince Hubertus Hohenlohe

1.  He's on the Mexican ski team at 55.  Actually, he *is* the Mexican ski team.  And their entire Olympic team. 

2.  This is his 6th Olympics.  That's right, 6th.  You have to admire that kind of stamina.

3.  He used to ski downhill, but apparently that worries his mother, so he's switched to slalom.  I admire a man who listens to his mother (just as long as he has his own castle as well.)

4.  Mariachi-themed sportswear.  That's right. 

5.  Which only slightly beats his previous Olympic outfit - a Pistolero...

6.  When he's not skating, he releases pop albums under the name Andy Himalaya. 

7.  He's the second-oldest male Winter Olympian ever (the record is held by a 58-year-old curler from the 1924 Olympics.)  Reportedly, he's planning on quitting because "oldest Olympian" is not a record he wants.

8.  He can actually ski - his highest Olympic mark was 28th, but he's done better than that in the World Championships.
 
9.  He's got a home in Lichtenstein.  I've always been a little fascinated by Lichtenstein.

10.  I love dreamers - and this is sort of the epitome of dreaming, isn't it?
