Chandigarh, February 13

Jammu and Kashmir alpine skier Arif Mohammed Khan has finished 53rd with a timing of 1:22.35 in the giant slalom discipline of Alpine Skiing at the Winter Olympics 2022 in Beijing, China.

Arif needed a Top-30 finish to qualify for the final. Of the total 89 skiers in the event, only 54 managed to finish the race. Arif started at number 85.

The Jammu and Kashmir skier will now compete in the slalom event on February 16.

The 31-year-old Baramulla native is the only Indian to qualify for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Meanwhile, the second run of the men’s giant slalom has been postponed due to heavy snowfall and low visibility.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
