Michael Christian Martinez withdraws from Nebelhorn Trophy bid

20 August  2021
by: PHSU

We regretfully announce that one of our elite male skaters, Michael Christian Martinez, has decided to withdraw from his bid for Nebelhorn Trophy, an Olympic qualifying event for figure skating.

With Michael continuing to recover from his on-and-off injuries, he, along with his Coach, Nikolai Morozov, see it fit and more viable to concentrate on his overall healing for the time-being. Having said that, Michael’s team has decided to completely dedicate the remainder of the competition season towards longer preparation for future international tournaments.

Michael will also focus on adjusting to his programs, as well as adapting to new techniques to improve his skating while training in Moscow, Russia. His love for the sport remains unwavered and hopes to come back stronger in creating a mark on the international stage of skating as a proud Filipino.

Despite the three-year absence from competing, Michael is ultimately grateful for all the outpouring support given to him since the beginning of his Olympic journey. He will continue to recover well, work hard, and devote his time to skating his best.

The Philippine Skating Union supports his decision and will continue to do so should he decide to join future competitions. The union wishes Michael a speedy recovery and the best for his endeavours.
