YANQING, China - It's not only Asa Miller who's chasing for the Philippines its first Winter Olympics medal in Beijing 2022, but there are seven more from Southeast Asia-a fully tropical region on this side of the planet. Timor Leste, Thailand and Malaysia are represented in these Beijing Games with most of their athletes competing alongside the Filipino-American Miller in alpine skiing. Miller's on his second consecutive Games, but someone else from the region has campaigned in three straight editions. Yohan Goutt Goncalves, a French-East Timorese, has been chasing his Olympic dream since Sochi 2014 and looks at Sunday's men's giant slalom with a potential shot at the podium just like the Portland-based Miller. Thailand has the most qualifiers with four-Zanon Nicola (men's alpine skiing) Jaiman Mida Fah (women's alpine skiing), Mark Chanloung (cross country skiing) and his sister Karen (cross country skiing).
