This kind of thing is so stupid to me. He only competed under India because he could not qualify for Lithania or the USA teams.
If you're representing a country you should have trained in that country. You're showcasing the ability of that nation to produce quality talent and results.
Having grown up in India seems to irrelevant if you never actually did anything skiing related there 🤷

Reply to TIL that India's first representative at the Winter Olympics., in 1964, was Jeremy Bujakowski, an Lithuanian born skier of Polish descent who grew up in India (and was naturalized as an Indian citizen). He learned to ski in Boise, Idaho, USA. by vrphotosguy55
