Beijing: India's challenge at the Beijing Winter Olympics ended on Wednesday as Alpine skier Mohd Arif Khan veered off course in the final stretch to end with a DNF (Did Not Finish) in Slalom first run.

A DNF in run 1 means the athlete cannot participate in the second run.

In the Giant Slalom event on Sunday, Arif finished 46th with a cumulative time of 2:47.24 after second run. He was ranked 53rd in the Giant Slalom's first run.

The 31-year-old skier from Jammu and Kashmir was the lone Indian representing the country in Beijing's Winter Olympics.

Besides, he is also the first Indian qualified for two events -- Giant Slalom and Slalom -- of the same edition.

Only 52 out of 87 participants were able to finish the run. Athletes who finished the first run will be progressed to the medal race. (UNI)
