Cuban  athletes  have  never  participated  in
                   the Winter  Olympic  Games.  Cuba  is  the  most
                   successful  Olympic  team  (by  total  medals  won)
                   among those nations who never even participated
                   at Winter Olympics.
                       Cuba  is  in  the  second  position  of  American
                   countries in gold medals (trailing only the United
                   States),  and  has  won  more  medals  than  any
                   nation  in  Latin  America.  Cuba  has  yet  to  have
                   hosted  the  Olympic  Games.  Cuba  has  won  the
                   fourth   highest   total   number   of   medals
                   (after Hungary, Romania, and Poland) of nations
                   that have never hosted the Games.
                       The National Olympic Committee for Cuba is
                   the Cuban Olympic Committee, and was created
                   in 1926 and recognized in 1954.
