How One Olympian Fought for the Right to Skate Like a Minion

by

Figure skating analyst Jackie Wong, reporting from Milan, says skaters didn’t usually have trouble getting permission to use songs until a legal issue in 2022.

The case was settled out of court, with the Guardian reporting that Heavy Young Heathens received $1.4 million.
