Only one of their athletes qualified, and the country decided to not send a one man team.\n\n"Mexico will not be sending any athletes to the 2006 Winter Olympics. The Bobsleigh team and the Skeleton team both failed to qualify for the games. Alpine skiier Hubertus von Hohenloh had gained enough World Cup points to qualify for the Olympics, but the Mexico National Olympic Committee decided not to send a one man team to the Games.[1]"

The summer and winter olympics happen every 4 years.  They offset the summer and winter olympics in 1992 so that one or the other happens every two years.  As such, there was a winter olympic in 1992 and again in 1994, before resuming every 4 years again.

Um...Every Olympics...Most recent Olympics was Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, 2006.\n\nAdded:\nOK..OK... I think I realize what they are asking now....The last time they actually gave out actual Gold "gold medals" was in 1912. Now it is just gold plated silver for the "gold medals".\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Olympic_champions_and_medalists

Seems like you're a few decades behind!  I'm not sure of the exact date, but the world used to host the Olympics every four years, and both Summer and Winter Games would be in the same year.  \n\nFor example, during the Cold War, the 1980 Olympics were held in Lake Placid (winter) and in Moscow (summer) later that year.  There was some controversy because the Easterners (Russia, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, etc.) talked about boycotting the Lake Placid games, and President Carter talked about retrobuting by boycotting the Moscow games.  Something like that.  \n\nAnyways, since then, the schedule has changed, and the Olympics are every two years.  The seasonal games, like the summer games, are held every 4 years.  The schedule is: Beijing 2008(summer), Vancouver 2010(winter), and London 2012(summer).  Check out the links below for more info. (there are links to each of the sites from olympic.org)

According to the site listed as a source, (located in the 'Did you know' near the bottom of the page) Denmark's Lisa Hartle was the first female rider to win an Olympic medal in Dressage.\n\nIt also states an interesting fact: She overcame a polio affliction and managed to win the silver medal in two consecutive Olympic Games, in 1952 and in 1956. :-)
