Himanshu, who finished 72nd in the giant slalom at the Sochi Winter Olympics four years ago, needs a score of 140 points or below in five races to qualify for the Winter Games in Pyeongchang from February 9 to 29.
The 24-year-old has got the required score in four races but needs to record 140 or less in one more race before the January 21 cut-off date.
If he doesn't make the Darbandsar Ski Resort in Iran for the two-day event starting tomorrow, his chances of making the cut for Olympics are as good as over.
She has written to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is known for her prompt help.
