Indian skier Arif Khan had a memorable outing at Winter Olympics 2022 as he finished 45th in the Men’s Giant Slalom race on Sunday. 

The conditions were tough and saw skiers fell off. Out of the 87 skiers to start the race, only 47 were able to complete both their runs in the tricky conditions.

The 31-year-old skier from Jammu and Kashmir, who is the only Indian athlete at the 2022 Winter Olympics, ended at 53rd in Race 1 with a time of 1 minute 22.35 seconds. In Race 2, he clocked 1:24.89. His combined time was 37.89 seconds behind gold winner Marco Odermatt of Switzerland.

Nevertheless, it was still India's best show at the Winter Olympics in this event.
