"Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté has gone viral in the figure skating world for a delightful short program in which the Spaniard dresses up like a Minion. Unfortunately, he won't be bringing the routine to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. Just days before the opening ceremony, the six-time Spanish national champion was informed that his routine's music wasn't cleared due to copyright issues."
""I followed all required procedures and submitted my music through the ISU ClicknClear system back in August, and I competed with this program throughout the entire season," he wrote on his Instagram Story. "Unfortunately, just days before the Olympic inauguration, I was informed that I am no longer permitted to use this program due to copyright clearance issues." Although Sabaté called the timing "incredibly disappointing," not all hope is lost."
Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté gained viral attention for a short program performed in a Minion costume. The six-time Spanish national champion will not perform that routine at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan because the routine's music was not cleared for use. Sabaté submitted the music through the ISU ClicknClear system in August and competed with the program throughout the season, but was informed just days before the opening ceremony that the music lacked copyright clearance. Sabaté described the timing as incredibly disappointing. He will instead skate a Saturday Night Fever free program with a matching outfit.
