Figure skater Michael Martinez recently uploaded a video of himself as he practiced to Maris Racal's newest single, "Ate Sandali."
Michael, who is currently training and competing to secure a spot in the 2022 Winter Olympics, shared the short clip on Instagram as he wrote, "When you're marupok."
Michael's Insta followers pointed out that the figure skater used the song for his practice routine as he has a crush on Maris. One netizen said, "Crush mo lang yung singer, e." Another fan praised Michael for his "world-class skating," while yet another commenter said he should collaborate with Maris.
Michael is a two-time Olympian, competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, and was the only athlete to represent the Philippines. He also competed in the 2018 Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang in South Korea.
Meanwhile, Maris' "Ate Sandali" was released in June 2021 and was arranged and produced by her boyfriend, Rico Blanco.
