Here's how to watch Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate perform his Minions ice skating routine at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.
You may not know Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate by name, but by now you've probably heard of the Minion Skater, the men's figure skater who had to fight to perform his signature Minions-themed short program at this year's Winter Olympics. Sabate, who represents Spain, has performed the routine set to music from the Universal Pictures film while dressed as a Minion all season long, and it helped him earn his spot in the Winter Games.
Just days before the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics were set to begin, he was told that he didn't have the music clearance for one of the songs featured in his routine. After an online outcry and some legal wrangling, Sabate was granted permission to use the song in his routine just in time for the Games, and he will perform it this Tuesday, Feb. 10, during the men's short program, which will air live starting at 12:15 p.m. ET on Peacock and USA. Broadcast coverage will switch over to NBC at 1:45 p.m. Though Sabate is not considered a medal contender, he's already become a fan favorite. (We're also excited for his Bee Gees-themed free skate, which will be on Friday.)
