Because they didn't get qualified in the preliminary round.

Only sports widely practised by men in at least seventy-five countries and on four continents and by women in at least forty countries and on three continents may be include in the programme of the Games of the Olympiad.\n\nSo, never.

Mexico has participated since 1924 and even hosted the games in 1968. Ana Guevara, the Mexican track and field athlete won a silver medal in the woman's 400m dash at the Athens games. Mexico has won medals in a number of events throughout the history of the games.

Some teams have disappointed people at the WC, but I think all teams had to prove themselves to a degree. Many more than the 32 who qualified tried and didn't get there. I know some had easier qualifying rounds than others, but these 32 are the ones that overcame their opponents to get here. They all deserve some credit. But leave the Olympics out of it, this is the WC of football, a completely different arena.

Why not?  Hell, while we're at it, since they all come here to why don't we add some Mexican pro sports teams to our roster.

Due to World War I the 1916 Games were cancelled, and because of World War II the games of 1940 and 1944 were also skipped.\n\nThere was also a gap between 393 (the last of the ancient games) and 1896 (the first year of the Modern Olympics)

Trying to find the answer for that myself, I found this article at this website: \nhttp://www.torino2006.org/ENG/OlympicGames/news/news_eng160276.html\n\nBasically, it says that Hubertus von Hohenlohe, who compets in skiing, was "the only Mexican who qualified and the Mexican Olympic Committee decided against sending him as a one-man team." - so, instead, they decided not to compete at all...\n...That is basically all that I've been able to find out.

you cant join the olympics.. you qualify for the olympics\n\nand to qualify you must meet with the international federation, the IOC ( int. olymp com ) and your country's rules. \n\nIn my case, the toughest one to meet was my country's because they dont have enough money to send everyone that qualifies. so they would set qualifing times very very high.. \n\nBut to your question.. you cant be independent, everyone is a citizen of at least one country.. and if you are from more than one.. you have to choose at least 2 years before which one you are going to try to go with.

Athletes don't compete in the Olympics to break records. They compete to celebrate sports, represent their countries and to win Olympic medals.\n\nSo long as there is sports, so long will the Olympic games flourish.

its all to do with the number of games teams play and who they are against. i mean mexico played 25 games in the last year, the usa around 18. obviously they will have accumulated a lot of points, especially when they play teams from that region. i,e rubbish. whereas top european nations only played 9-13. its a joke really. here is my top ten\n\nbrazil\nargentina\nczech rep\nspain\ngermany\nholland\nfrance\nghana\nmexico\nportugal

1. I don't care if your question is racist or not... a joke is a joke. \n2. Mexico does NOT do badly in sports. There are dozens of other countries that do way worse, so your question is not well thought out.\n3. The american dream team in basketball does not consist of our best players. All our really good players don't even participate. They are more interested in $$$. \n4. In response to some of the other answers you've received... Mexican funding plays no role whatsoever in how well their team does. It's not the government that pays for soccer, so you can't say that the reason they suck is because the mexican government puts money into education and health. Soccer in mexico is paid for by advertising and sponsors. \n5. Mexico did NOT win in 86!!! Whoever wrote that needs to get their facts straight. \n6. Yes, i usually read other people's responses before giving my own.

That is quite a stretch there but the way it works now is that an Olympic athlete can be replaced by another top finisher from the same nation. But if there were no available candidates then the specific sport would be listed as having no winners.
