Honduras competed in the Winter Olympic Games for the first time (and as of 2022, the only time) at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

Cross-country skier Jenny Palacios-Stillo was Honduras' only athlete in Albertville, competing in three events: the 15 km classical, the 5 km classical pursuit and the 10 km free pursuit. Palacios placed last (50th, 62nd and 58th, respectively, all by wide margins) among the competitors who finished the three events; however, since she did finish all three, Jenny placed ahead of skiers who did not, and thus avoided coming in dead last. "It is the first time that a skier of Honduras takes part in the Olympics," Palacios said afterwards. "Me, I finished the race whereas there are girls who have more experience than I which did not pass the finishing line." http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.humanite.fr%2F1992-02-11_Articles_-Flocons&lp=fr_en&.intl=us&fr=slv8-yie7
