Do you know what place this is? Can you recognize any or all of the buildings you see? And how is it important to Pakistan?

I suspect this ATP Quiz is either a little too easy. Or, maybe, not easy at all. I guess we shall find out soon enough.

Muhammad Abbas made Pakistan’s Winter Olympics debut today.

We already have a post on Abbas’s remarkable trip from learning skiing on home-made planks in Pakistan’s Northern Areas to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, but these Associated Press pictures from his run today are quite stunning and we thought they deserve a separate post.

Earlier today, Mohammad Abbas of Pakistan completed a downhill free run in Whistler, British Columbia (picture below). Tomorrow he will compete in the Men’s Giant Slalom at the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010.  (See followup post with more pictures, here).

It is unlikely that he will be in the run for a medal, but his participation will be noteworthy for Pakistan and Pakistanis.
