Spanish figure skater Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate successfully brought the Minions to Milan on Tuesday, following a music rights dispute that had overshadowed the Winter Olympics. Donning his distinctive yellow-and-blue costume, Sabate embodied the mischievous spirit of the animated characters during his men's short program.
Despite nerves and an early mistake, Sabate declared, "It felt amazing." His performance was set to a soundtrack beginning with peals of laughter from the lovable children's characters, originally introduced as henchmen to criminal mastermind Gru in Despicable Me.
