So as they say anywhere in this world there are Pinoys, and maybe many of you think that Winter Olympics are for countries that has Winter Season only, well even a Tropical country like the Philippines was sending delegates at the Winter Olympic since 1972, but they stop sending delegates in 1992, but after 22 years or equivalent to 5 winter olympics again a Filipino is representing the Philippines again in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

He is Michael Christian Martinez born November 4 1996 is the only Filipino Delegate to Sochi, Russia. The 17 year old Figure Skater is 5th at the 2013 World Junior Championship, Martinez also won the Gold Medal in the recently concluded 2014 Skate Helena.
