India at the 2010 Winter Olympics
Sporting event delegation
Three athletes represented India at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They did not win any medals. Typically for the Summer Olympics, Indian Olympic athletes are supported indirectly (through jobs for athletes at the Ministry of Railways[1]), augmented by private support from various sources, including (this year) support and uniforms provided by Indo-Canadians.[2] At the 2010 Winter Olympics, two skiers, both Ladakh Scouts and graduates of the High Altitude Warfare School, are supported indirectly by the Indian Army,[3] while the third athlete has cobbled together late-arriving Ministry of Sports support, augmented by contributions from two corporations, Swissair and Limca.[1]
