Skier Arif Khan is India’s only athlete representing 1.4 billion people to competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics​

Lacking government support, he crowdfunded the trips to Europe for training and competition

He's from Kashmir but talking about India as his country, I'm missing something???

 

[beijingwalker]

I don't understand India can spend hundreds of billions on buying foreign weapons but why is so thrifty on supporting one single athlete?

 

[Maira La]

Bad genes.

Correct, He's from kashmir and he spent his own money to represent his nation India in the Olympics.

He then applied for a Indian passport and applied for a Visa as a Indian citizen and went to China to represent India.

I don't think you missed anything.

You mean occupied Kashmiri don't have a problem representing India?

I will be amazed if a Palestinian represent Isarhel.

But nothing is impossible in those crazy times we are living ....

Missing what? Kashmir is part of India so obviously he says he is representing India.

 

[Bilal.]

No it’s not.

Why Indian government doesn't support him?

Probably it's just like French sport players originating from Africa, when they win the media call them French, when they loose they call them, Cameroonian, Algerian or Senegalese .....

Wait and see what this "Kashmiri" will perform ....

 

[INS_Vikrant]

No it’s not.

Say that to the skier

 

[beijingwalker]

Is it a joke? A country of 1.4 billion people can not even support one single athlete to go to the Olympic Games?

 

[Bilal.]

Say that to the skier

You can take the skier. No problem.
