While India enforced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics commencing on Friday, the nation’s hopes will still rest on skier Arif Khan. Hailing from Kashmir, Arif will participate in two events and is aiming at a modest top-30 finish in the showpiece event.
The 31-year-old, the lone Indian participant in the quadrennial event, secured his berth in a qualifying event in Dubai last year.
