In a major boost to India before the start of Winter Olympics in
South Korea from February, the 21-year old Aanchal Thakur created
history on Tuesday Jan 09,2018 by becoming the first Indian to register an
international medal in skiing. The Manali resident achieved a Bronze
medal in the slalom race category at Alpine Ejder 3200 Cup organised by
Skiing’s international governing body, Federation International de Ski
(FIS) at the Palandoken Ski Centre, in Erzurum in Turkey.
Aanchal Thakur, after winning the medal, in a tweet expressed her happiness in achieving the feat and described it as “unexpected”. “Finally something unexpected happened. My first ever international medal. Federation International Ski Race (FIS). At the end turkey served me well,” she wrote in a tweet in which she also posted images of her podium finish.
