Overview
- Tomàs Guarino took the ice in Milan in a yellow-and-blue costume to a Minions medley, recovered from an early triple axel error, and said the skate felt incredible.
- He received final permission on Friday following a public plea that drew heavy social-media support aimed at Universal Studios and Pharrell Williams.
- Guarino had performed the Minions program all season and had warned fans a week earlier when he was told he could not use the music.
- El Periódico reported that his short program score was not enough to advance him to the free-skate final.
- The case highlighted wider music-licensing hurdles at Milano-Cortina, with Petr Gumennik changing his program at the last minute and U.S. champion Amber Glenn also encountering a rights dispute.
