4 Figure Skaters Ditched Dresses and Skirts For Badass Catsuits and We're Applauding

Y'all, figure skating [1] has been getting one hell of a makeover in Pyeongchang. The 2018 Winter Olympics have brought out a side of the sport we haven't seen — from wild music choices [2] (hello, Ed Sheeran [3] and ACDC [4]) to openly gay athletes truly thriving on ice [5], and now to some seriously sassy and empowering wardrobe choices [6] from the ladies in skates.

Not one, but four competitors in the women's technical short program showed up in long-legged bodysuits in lieu of dresses and miniskirts (some of which, TBH, we'd love to wear to the gym). Is it a sign of the times? Will we be seeing more in competitions to come? We can only hope. Check out the badass outfits and their corresponding reactions on Twitter.
