Peter Groseclose and Kathleen Dubberstein will lead Team Philippines at the opening ceremony of the Ninth Asian Winter Games. The Philippine team has made a strong start with the curling duo of Dubberstein and Marc Pfister securing three wins in round-robin play. Groseclose will compete in speed skating events, aiming for a podium finish.
HARBIN, China—Speed skater Peter Groseclose and curling athlete Kathleen Dubberstein will bear the flag for a proud and inspired Team Philippines in the opening ceremony of the Ninth Asian Winter Games on Friday night at the Harbin International Convention Exhibition and Sports Center.
That loss didn’t damage the bid of Pfister and Dubberstein, who are guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals for a potential medal for Team Philippines, whose participation here is backed by the Philippine Sports Commission. The survivors in the semifinals of curling will engage in a crucial tiff for the gold medal on Saturday, with the losing pair in the final four tangling in the bronze-medal match.
Team Philippines will likewise pin its hopes on slalom alpine skiers Francis Ceccarelli and Tallulah Proulx and snowboarder Laetaz Amihan Rabe in the freeski slopestyle, big air and halfpipe events.
