India's alpine ski champion Arif Khan says he's a man on a mission.

He's India's only representative at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and he wants to show the world that winter sports could be a “game-changer” for his motherland.

Even though the Himalayas spread across 13 of India’s states, the South Asian country still has little to no winter sports culture.

But Khan hopes that his appearance at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics could change all of that.

“Winter sports can be a game-changer for India,” the 31-year-old says.

“If we utilize the Himalayas well, it can be used for both purposes, sports as well as economic development.”
