Answer 1

The correct answer is Arif Mohammad Khan.

Key Points

Arif Khan is set to make his debut at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but he is also the only Indian to have qualified for the big event this time round.
The 31-year-old from Gulmarg started skiing at the age of four, encouraged by his father who owns a ski equipment shop, and his decades of hard work have finally paid off with his qualification in two events in Beijing - the slalom and giant slalom alpine skiing events.
This also makes Arif the first India to qualify for two events at the Winter Olympics.
