^ Thanks for the information Aayesha. As I said in my earlier post, It's really good to see Pakistan being represented - more so knowing that a lot of resources and effort went into getting to this point. We all wish Abbas and his coaching team the best of luck.
it was such a good feeling to see him march in......
thank you aayesha for the detailed post describing the many key players behind the scenes that are part and parcel of Pakistan's participation in the Winter Olympics.
we would love to meet your father and abbas himself......won't you invite them here?

Can't wait to see Mohammad Abbas compete. Watched Bode Miller last night win the gold, and my excitement level and appreciation for this sport is going up. Hopefully NBC will do a human-interest piece on Abbas, because it is, well, pretty interesting.
Also, does anyone know what happened to Anmaar Habib? She was supposed to be preparing for the Olympics as well (training in California), trying to become the first Pakistani winter olympics athlete or the first woman athlete, but there's no recent news about her.
