Last Saturday, TV5, as the official Philippine Olympic Network, opened its extensive coverage of the XXII Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia with the Opening Ceremonies.
40,000 spectators attended the ceremonies at the Fisht Olympic Stadium, where a grand fireworks display accompanied the entrance of athletes as well as a number of Russian music performers.
Coverage is expected for our lone participant, Michael Christian Martinez. The 17-year old will take to the rink for the men's figure skating on Thursday for the short program and Friday for the free skate. Both events will start at 11pm Philippine Standard Time.
They will also have coverage of the other athletes of Filipino descent, like US speed skater JR Celski, in addition to showing the other events like hockey, snowboarding and skiing on their different networks (TV5, Aksyon TV & HYPER) over the sixteen days, with the help of PLDT Home Fibr, SMART and CignalTV
