Filipino-American John Robert Celski Wins Bronze Medal in Winter Olympics

Share



Filipino-American John Robert Celski grab a Bronze Medal in the ongoing Vancouver Winter Olympics.



Celski won the bronze medal in the 1,500-meter short-track speed skating event. Although he is representing the US in the Olympics, he’s proud to have a Filipino blood.

Celski born in Monterey, California is the youngest of three brothers. His father, Robert Celski served in the U.S. Army and his mom Sue is a full-blooded Filipina who hails from Isabela.

“I would love for people to know that I am Filipino. I am very proud to be Filipino. My mother is full blooded Filipino which makes me half,” Celski said. “Ever since I was a little kid I have been around the Filipino culture as most of my friends are Filipinos.”

In fact, Celski has a Philippine flag tattoo on his chest and he’s a great fan of Filipino food like sinigang, lechon, longganisa, pancit, lumpia and adobo.
This is his Olympic debut after he earned a slot in the US team by winning two gold, one silver and two bronze medals last year at the World Championships in Austria.
Celski will try to snare a gold medal in the 5,000 m. relay on February 26.
