Spanish Olympics Figure Skater Gets Minions Routine Approved
brobible.com: The Winter Olympics don’t officially kick off until Friday, but there’s already been some controversy courtesy of a Spanish figure skater who said he’d been blocked from performing his Minions-themed routine on the world’s biggest stage. Thankfully, it appears reason has prevailed after the internet bullied Universal into backing down from the copyright claim that threatened to derail his trip to Italy.

Anyone who spends any amount of time around me during the Winter Olympic season knows that I am a die-hard figure skating enjoyer. In an age of insecurity around men’s figure skating, a humorous program like this was to die for. I wish he’d qualified for the free skate (he was three points away!), and I wonder if it would’ve been a similarly hilarious program. Still, the men’s short program overall was much nicer to watch compared to the absolute disaster that the free skate was. The costuming for this one was objectively hilarious. He committed hard to the bit (to the point where I wonder if the costume’s lack of aerodynamics might have slowed him down.) Also, the last sentence of the article is hilarious. Just goes to show that the short program isn’t everything–who knows, maybe Sabate would’ve clutched up in the free program had he competed. Maybe a minion program could’ve won over Malinin.
