Noor Muhammad (L) won the gold medal and Shah Hussain (R) won the silver medal at the skiing event.
President Ski Federation of Pakistan (SFP) Air Marshal Farhat Hussain Khan congratulated Noor Muhammad and Shah Hussain of Naltar Ski School who won the gold and silver medals respectively at the event. He hoped that the success would significantly boost the SFP’s ventures in national and international ski events.
The winning skiers also met with the Korean Ambassador to Pakistan Choong-joo Choi who appreciated the performances of the budding players.
The Dream Programme was initiated by Gangwon Province in 2004 to promote winter sports in countries where winter sports facilities were not fully developed. Pakistan joined the programme in 2011.
This year, around 150 participants from 40 countries took part in the training after which athletes were divided into groups and competitions were held among them.

Well Done Boys, you both are proud of Gilgit-Baltsitan and Pakistan
Looking forward for an event in Pakistan to promote local skiing skills.
Trained them to represent Pakistan at the Winter Olympics and I guess for the 1st time.
Awesome. I am reasonably sure the two players may be the part of Pakistan Armed Forces, since there is hardly any handy training available for skiing enthusiasts, let alone the blue color commoners. If true, that would be one more indication of the lack of a civilian development infrastructure for the people of Pakistan. Fruits of democracy we have always been waiting for...........
G8 jojo'z:)
Well done!!
WELL DONE NOOR MUHAMMAD & SHAH HUSSAIN!!!!
Pakistan players can do well if we promote, but there are many problems for our players and we lost the talent of our youth.......
Thumbs up brothers. You are the Hero and Pride of Nation.
