• A. Aanchal Thakur
• B. Shailaja Kumar
• C. Arif Khan
• D. Himanshu Thakur

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Arif Khan

• At Beijing 2022, Indian alpine skier Arif Mohammad Khan won quotas in both men's slalom and giant slalom – making him the first Indian to qualify for two separate events directly.

• He finished 45th in giant slalom - the best-ever finish by any Indian in the event at the Winter Games but recorded a DNF in giant slalom.
