PYEONGCHANG: Pakistan’s 22 years old Olympian Skier Mohammad Karim could secure 72nd position in the giant slalom category of Alpine Skiing in the ongoing Winter Olympics.

He along with Syed Hamaan, who took part in the cross-country skiing event, are currently representing Pakistan in the Pyeongchang Games.

Karim started rather slowly in the first run and completed it in 1.27.53 seconds. In the second run he marginally improved the pace to finish in 1.26.40 seconds which earned him a disappointing 72nd position.
