Aga Khan the leader of the ismaelies was in the winter olympics for Iran in 1960 and 1964, its strange cuz he is only 1/8 iranian.

Aga Khan the leader of the ismaelies was in the winter olympics for Iran in 1960 and 1964, its strange cuz he is only 1/8 iranian.

Found below:
Agha Khan I was the governor of Kerman while Agha Khan II's mother was the daughter of Fath Ali Shah (Qajar).
Agha Khan III was born in Karachi and his third wife, Nawab Alia Shamsul-Muluk, was a granddaughter of Fath Ali Shah.
Agha Khan IV or present Agha Khan (called also Prince Karim Agha Khan) is the grandson of Agha Khan III (Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan), the son of Prince Ali Solomone Khan (his mother was Cleope Teresa Magliano) and Joan Barbara Yarde-Buller.

Winter sports requires a lot of equipment who sre very expensive and since the majority of our people are not wealthy they can't buy those equipements.
