Get ready for a burst of 90s nostalgia! The Winter Olympics just got a funky throwback as the world’s top ice dancers hit the rink with infectious grooves. Yes, you heard right—Ricky Martin was the undisputed star, yet again, as his hit song ‘Maria’ blared across the arena during the rhythm dance competition on Monday. Skating stars from Finland, Sweden, and Spain showed off their moves to the upbeat track, making it the tune of choice for not just one, but three teams! Talk about Livin' la Vida Loca!
Bursting with 90s vibes, ice dancers had to bring their A-game to tracks from that legendary decade, while the International Skating Union set the theme to 'The Music, Dance Styles, and Feeling of the 1990s.' And boy, was it a thrilling throwback! Picture this: skaters electrifying the ice with performances set to tunes from boy bands, girl groups, and Eurodance legends.
Leading the charge was the dynamic duo, Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron, who rocked the rink with Madonna's immortal hit 'Vogue.' Their sensational performance has them poised in the top spot, and they look unstoppable as they twirl towards gold. Their story is extra inspiring as this marks their first year skating together after some rocky past events involving former partners.
Not far behind are the fabulous Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who took us on a wild ride with a Lenny Kravitz medley featuring 'American Woman,' 'Fly Away,' and more! They already have a team gold under their belts, so watch out—they’re eyeing another shiny medal here!
In third, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier dazzled with a mix of RuPaul’s 'Supermodel (You Better Work)' and Right Said Fred’s 'I’m Too Sexy,' bringing glitz and glam to the rink, complete with epic ballroom culture moves. Meanwhile, our British favorites, Lilah Fair and Lewis Gibson, gave us major Spice Girls vibes with a medley that had everyone saying, 'Spice Up Your Life!'
With every thrilling twist, turn, and toe-loop, the rink has never been hotter—and the competition fiercer. This 90s-themed ice dance showdown is just what we need to relive a golden era of music and moves!
