After a five-year hiatus in the global ice skating scene, the Philippines set a triumphant comeback as Filipino-American Peter Groseclose came in fourth in the 1000m event and sixth in the 500m event of the ISU Junior World Cup Speed Skating 1.

The teenage short track speed skater only narrowly missed the podium in Enschede, Netherlands, clocking in at one minute and 27.280 seconds in the men’s 1000-meter race to land in fourth place with his fast moves.

In a race that almost had Groseclose clinching the bronze medal, the 15-year-old Washington-based Fil-Am skater trailed South Korea’s Han Byeonchan (bronze medalist), China’s Zhang Tianyi (silver medalist) and Li Kun who won the gold medal.
