What an achievement for someone who would cut some wood, chisel it, and make it into something looking vaguely like a ski and tie it to his feet with rubber or nylon rope! Muhammad Abbas, has come a long way from the days when he was just another child playing for fun with his friends on the snow slopes of Northern Pakistan. On Tuesday, the 24-year-old became the first Pakistani to compete at the Winter Olympics. All Pakistanis are proud of you Abbas!
