Controversy
The Pakistan Ski Federation feared their qualified athlete might not
be able to compete at the Games, due to the continuing conflict between
the Pakistan Olympic Association and the Pakistani Government. The International Olympic Committee has given a deadline of January 2014 for both sides to solve their dispute.[5] The issues were solved and the country will compete.[6]
