Spanish figure skater Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté says Universal has given him permission to use Minions-related music at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. Spanish figure skater Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté said Tuesday that he may be able to skate his Minions-themed program at the Olympics after all. “Finding out about this ... so close to the most important competition of my life, was incredibly disappointing,” Guarino Sabaté wrote in his post sharing the initial news. “This season I competed with my Minions short program to bring joy and playful style to the ice while still meeting every required element to show that skating as a male Olympic figure skater can be fun. The situation has brought to attention to the complexities of music licensing and how it affects artistic sports like figure skating.
