February 9th, 2014 11:43 AM #2Suportahin natin ang ating kababayan na si Christian Martinez sa Sochi Winter Olympics.From shopping mall ice rinks to Sochi Winter Games for lone PH bet Martinez
AFTER a 22-year absence from the Winter Olympics, the Philippines will be represented by a lone figure skater in Sochi.
Michael Christian Martinez, 17, from Muntinlupa City, is the first homegrown Filipino figure skater competing in the Winter Olympics.
Initially, he did not expect to qualify to this year’s Olympic Games but he and his mother took the risk of competing this year. He is looking to qualify and finish in the top 24 in the oldest sport in The Winter Games.
Martinez, who began skating in 2005 at an ice rink in a shopping mall, trains mainly in Manila but travels to California where he trains for several months with British figure skating coach John Hicks.
He began competing internationally in 2010 and won his first senior international title in 2012 at the Crystal Skate in Romania.

MANILA, Philippines – Michael Christian Martinez has already made history by being the first Filipino figure skater to represent the Philippines at the Winter Olympics in 22 years. But he can do more than that if he is able to clinch the Philippines' first ever medal at this year's Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. (READ: The lone Filipino Winter Olympian)
That is exactly what the 17-year-old Martinez of Parañaque, Manila hopes to achieve this week as he makes his Olympic debut in men's figure skating.
Martinez will first see action on the ice on Thursday, February 13 for the men's short program. The short program, which will air live on TV5 from 11 PM to 3:30 AM, is the qualifying round wherein the top 24 skaters will advance to the free skate program.

watching the event, compared to other athletes so far, Michael's performance is indeed superb by my uneducated standard
