With eyes to represent India at the international events like Olympics, around 600 athletes on Wednesday hit the thick snow slopes of Gulmarg in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district in a four-day event.
“Khelo India Winter Game unfolds vast opportunities for the young generation to make a professional career and represent the nation at international level,” Joginder Kumar, an athlete from Haryana, said.
Around 600 athletes will participate in events of Alpine ski, Nordic ski, and snow mountaineering.
