Alpine skiing
By meeting the basic qualification standards, The Philippines qualified one male alpine skier. [15] The Philippine Ski and Snowboard Federation has nominated Asa Miller to fill the lone berth. [16] [17] This would mark Miller's second appearance in the Winter Olympics having last competed in the 2018 edition. [18] Based in Portland, Oregon, Miller trained in the United States as part of his preparation for the 2022 Winter Olympics. [19] He was joined by his coach Will Gregorak. [20]
While Miller does not consider himself a strong contender to win a gold medal, he is aiming to surpass his 70th place finish in the men's giant slalom event he recorded in the 2018 Olympics. [20] [21] His coach Gregorak, believes he is capable of finishing among the top 45 in his event. [22]
Miller and his father expressed wariness of incurring a did not finish (DNF) prior to competing the men's giant slalom event on 13 February noting it could even happen to top skiers citing the case of two-time Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin who recorded DNFs in the women's giant slalom and slalom days earlier. [23] Miller crashed out 20 seconds into the first run of the giant slalom due to heavy snowfall. He was among the 33 skiers who incurred a DNF in the first run. [24] Miller however did not attribute his poor finish to the weather condition admitting that he had lost focus. [25] For the men's slalom held on 16 February, Miller skied for 36 seconds but also incurred a DNF. Gregorak attributed the snow's condition which he described as "a little uneven between being aggressive and icy in some spots" as a factor in Miller's finish, but Miller himself also admitted that he also had fault.
