Two golds and two silvers at the National Icestock Championship mark a milestone in Faheem Masood Shah's career and a turning point for winter sports in Kashmir.

- Shaheen Ahangar

Faheem Masood Shah stood on the ice in Gulmarg this January, two gold medals and two silvers in hand, a warm smile on his face as snow fell around him.

Every shot he made at the 12th Senior National Icestock Championship bore the mark of years spent training on uneven rinks with limited resources.

Around him, teammates cheered, but his eyes were on the young athletes still on the rink, guiding their hands, adjusting their grips, showing them how it feels to hit the mark.

At 32, Faheem is India's leading name in IcestockSport.

He has represented the country in nearly 200 international matches across three continents. Medals from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East fill his collection.
