Spanish figure skater Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate will be allowed to use his usual music from the animated film Minions at the upcoming Winter Olympics after a late copyright U-turn from Universal Pictures.

Sabate has become a crowd favourite throughout the World Cup season for his routine set to songs from the Minions series of films, which he performs while wearing a yellow T-shirt and blue overalls, similar to the titular characters’ outfits.
