Spanish Skater Faces Music Setback Over Copyright Clash

Spanish figure skater Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate is grappling with an unexpected copyright issue as he prepares for the Milano Cortina Games. The skater has been barred from using music from the popular 'Minions' film franchise, which has been a mainstay in his routines this season.

Guarino Sabate, a six-time national champion making his Olympic debut, initially followed the necessary process by submitting his music selection via the ISU ClicknClear system. However, just days before the Olympics commence, he was notified of the clearance problem, expressing disappointment over this last-minute setback.

Despite the obstacle, the 26-year-old skater is determined to impress on the ice. Known for his playful take on figure skating, he aims to honor his fans and bring the same exuberance and joy to his Olympic performance, irrespective of the music he ends up using.
