Copyright strikes again!
Spanish figure skater Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate faces an unexpected hurdle that has stripped his routine of its playful soul.

Having submitted the music months ago through proper channels, the news arrived just days before the competition, a devastating blow to a program designed to showcase fun and joy on the ice.
Guarino Sabate, who even donned the character’s iconic yellow and blue, vowed to meet the challenge head-on, promising to deliver a performance he and his fans can be proud of.
The International Skating Union acknowledged the ongoing complexities of music licensing in artistic sports, a cold comfort for a skater whose Olympic moment has lost its signature song.
