Philippines at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics

The Philippines achieved 1 male quota at the 2023 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships.^[17] The slot was filled in by Peter Groseclose.^[18]

Groseclose, who is coached by Olympic medalist John-Henry Krueger, is the first to compete among the 3-athlete Philippine delegation. He competed at the 1,500-meter, 500-meter and 1,000-meter races.^[19] Groseclose failed to advanced from the quarterfinal of the 1,500-meter race which he said is his weakest event among the three; describing the event as an "endurance race" and himself as more of a sprinter.^[20] He also finished as a quarterfinalist in the 1,000-meter race.^[21]

It was in the 500-meter race that Groseclose had his best performance; reaching the final stage. In the fifth and final lap, Groseclose and China's Zhang Bohao are in close contention for a bronze medal but the two stumbled on each other in the 40-second mark. He was penalized and did not record any time.^[22] Close to clinching the first-ever Winter Youth Olympics medal for the Philippines, Groseclose's feat was hailed by the delegation as the best ever finish of the Philippines in an Olympic winter sport event.^[23][24]
