Sochi 2014: The Countdown Series: Philippines

44 days remaining until the opening ceremonies (43 until the first day of competition) at Sochi 2014. Up next on the countdown: Philippines.


Philippines made their winter Olympics debut at Sapporo 1972. After those games, they did not return to the winter games until Calgary 1988. They have yet to appear at a winter Olympic games since Albertville 1992 (see below). The Filipino contingent in the winter games competed mostly in Alpine and luge events, though no medals were won.

There will be Filipino representation at Sochi, with Michael Christian Martinez qualifying for the men's singles of figure skating, marking the first time since Albertville that there has been Filipino representation in the winter games.

Up next: Poland
