Alpine skiing
According to the final quota allocation released on January 20, 2014, Pakistan had one athlete in qualification position. Muhammad Karim became the second ever athlete to represent the country at the Winter Olympics. Karim managed to improve the country's placement in the giant slalom from four years prior by finishing in 71st place (among 72 athletes that finished the race).
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 had given a deadline of January 2014 for both sides to solve their dispute. The issues were solved and the country did compete as scheduled.
