Overview
- Guarino Sabaté said Universal granted one‑time permission for the Minions music, allowing him to keep his season‑long short program for Milan‑Cortina.
- He noted that two other tracks in his four‑song medley still require final clearance, though the biggest hurdle has been addressed.
- The skater says he submitted the music through the ISU‑recommended ClicknClear system in August and performed the routine throughout the season.
- The International Skating Union acknowledged the case, calling music rights a continuing challenge and noting it has no contractual relationship with ClicknClear.
- Reporting identifies the medley as including "Vicious Funk" by Heitor Pereira and "Freedom" by Pharrell Williams, with the men's short program slated for Feb. 10.
