Fayik Abdi is Saudi Arabia's first winter Olympian. Abdi will compete in Alpine skiing races at the Beijing2022 Winter Olympics
Abdi will compete in the giant slalom, which has attracted competitors from countries not usually associated with the sport, such as violinist Vanessa Mae who competed for Thailand at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Abdi, who has mainly been practising in Utah since moving to the United States in 2012, said that one of his main challenges was not being able to practice in his home country.A Saudi alpine skier Fayik Abdi trains in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, January 31, 2022.
