Olympic Ice Dancing Routine to "Despacito"
This Ice Dancing Routine to "Despacito" Is So Sexy and Even Has a Wardrobe Malfunction
Now that figure skaters are allowed to perform to music with lyrics, what song would you choose? "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, obviously! South Korea's Yura Min and Alexander Gamelin's fiery performance will pull you in, and you won't be able to stop bobbing your head and belting the lyrics. Well, maybe just the chorus, but still! The song medley continued to ignite our hearts with the inclusion of Mariah Carey's "My All" and Thalia's "Mujer Latina."
The video above isn't from the Olympics, but it's the same routine performed at the 2018 Four Continents Figure Skating Competition, and fans were loving it!

Yura may have had a little wardrobe malfunction, as her top started to slide off her shoulders, but that didn't stop her. She gracefully pulled it up as if it were part of the program, and Leslie Jones called her a "soldier"!
Let me tell you about a good partner he pulled it when they ended I love it. @Olympics pic.twitter.com/y6ukRoqZpW

We are totally loving this modern twist on skating. We adored Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir's ice dance to "Hotel California," and French figure skater Maé-Bérénice Méité performing to Beyoncé completely wowed us. We were also floored by Adam Rippon's performance to Coldplay, and who wouldn't love Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron skating to Ed Sheeran? Our ears can't wait to hear what's next!
