That is right, I forgot that.  I still like the fact that they are willing to commit money to the future of the sport.

That's because our federation doesn't even know these games exist. 

That's false, India submitted to the FIS to compete, and failed to qualify.

Technically they could still send him. If they’d already paid for everything, and he asked to go, there’s nothing stopping them from allowing that. I’m sure he won’t end up going, but I’m just merely pointing out a technicality.

OK so @Olympian1010 is wrong. The qualifications for these aren't easy. IOC at complete fault.
