(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar – Zubair Ahmed Lone, a resident of Qazipora Tangmarg, has won the silver medal at the Federation International Skiing Alpine Snowboarding Championships in Serbia, competing against athletes from several countries.

Zubair, who has represented India in prestigious events like European Cups, NorAm Cups and FIS races, competing in countries like the United States, Canada, and others, said that despite his successes, his journey has been far from easy.

Snowboarding since 2007, he said, initially he was not happy with his results, as he often finishes between 20th and 40th positions.

“Now, securing second place is such an amazing feeling. I have been waiting for this for a very long time,” he said, as per news agency KNO.

With the recent success boosting his confidence, Lone said that he prepares for upcoming competitions.
