MANILA, Philippines – With his Winter Olympics debut in the bag, the Philippines’ lone Winter Olympian Michael Christian Martinez returned home to a warm welcome from fellow Filipinos.
The 17-year old figure skater brought pride and honor to the country by being the first Philippine representative at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia in 22 years. He also made history as the first figure skater to represent a country from Southeast Asia in the Winter Olympics.
In a two-day figure skating spectacle, Martinez managed to make it to the men’s figure skating finals and eventually finished in 19th place.
Martinez turned heads both locally and internationally as a talented figure skater who hails from a tropical country, and learned about the sport skating on a rink at a local mall.
After an impressive run at Sochi, Filipinos welcomed him back home with open arms.
