MILAN (AP) The Minions made it.

After a music rights dispute that took over the Winter Olympics , Spanish figure skater Tomas-Llorenc Guarino Sabate donned his yellow-and-blue costume and brought the mischievous spirit of the Minions to Milan in the mens short program Monday.

It felt amazing despite nerves and an early mistake, he said, after a distinctive skate to a soundtrack that starts with peals of laughter from the lovable childrens characters, who were introduced as the henchmen of criminal mastermind Gru in Despicable Me.

Sabate said the Minions are a way to express himself even though Im a little bit shy at the beginning, and the dispute has shown just how much support he really has.

Sabate had been performing the fan-favorite program all season, thinking he already had the proper approval. It all changed suddenly last week when he revealed hed been told he couldnt use the music.

When I did my post I was certain I wouldnt do the Minions, he said after skating Tuesday. Thats why I did the post, as a way of warning the people, whoever expects the Minions at the Olympics, Im sorry but dont, unfortunately its not gonna happen. I cant expose myself to getting sued.

He was stunned by the outpouring of support on social media as he tried to persuade the likes of Universal Studios and musician and producer Pharrell Williams to grant him the rights to skate to a medley of music related to the Minions, who have since appeared in several Despicable Me sequels and their own spinoffs. The final approval came through Friday.

I didnt realize the reach my skating had even outside of the figure skating world, and it helped me realize how far Ive come, how far my skating has brought me, he said.

Just how far will only sink in after the Olympics.

I havent had really the time to take everything in and just appreciate everything, he said.

Hes far from the only skater caught up in music-related drama at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Petr Gumennik of Russia, competing as a neutral athlete, had to change the music for his short program ahead of Tuesdays short program over a last-minute rights issue. He dropped music from Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, a psychological thriller, replacing it with a track from a Russian romantic epic. Even U.S. champion Amber Glenn had a copyright tangle with a Canadian artist.

Whats next for Sabate? Hes been answering a lot of fan messages. More are likely on the way.

I want to be the kind of person that replies to their fans, he said. They take the time to write to you and I want to take the time to answer.

米兰（美联社）——小黄人成功了。

在冬奥会期间经历音乐版权争议后，西班牙花样滑冰选手托马斯-洛伦佐·瓜里诺·萨巴特身着黄蓝相间的服装，于周一的男子短节目比赛中将《小黄人》的顽皮精神带到了米兰赛场。

尽管紧张且开场出现失误，但伴随着一段独特的滑冰配乐——开头是《神偷奶爸》中那些可爱儿童角色的爽朗笑声（这些角色在片中是大反派格鲁的手下）——他说：“感觉棒极了”。

萨巴特表示，小黄人是他表达自我的一种方式——"尽管起初我有些害羞"，而这场争议恰恰显示了他实际获得的支持有多强大。

萨巴特整个赛季都在表演这个备受观众喜爱的节目，他原以为自己已获得正式授权。然而上周情况突变，他透露自己被告知不能使用这段音乐。

“当我发布那条动态时，我就确定自己不会扮演小黄人，”他在周二滑冰后说道。“我发帖就是为了提醒大家——任何期待在奥运会上看到小黄人的人——‘很抱歉，但别指望了，可惜这事成不了。’我可不想惹上官司。”

当他试图说服环球影业以及音乐人兼制作人法瑞尔·威廉姆斯（Pharrell Williams）授予其使用与《小黄人》相关的音乐串烧进行滑冰表演的版权时，社交媒体上涌现的支持浪潮令他震惊不已。这些萌趣角色已陆续出现在多部《神偷奶爸》续集及其衍生作品中。最终授权于上周五正式获批。

他说：“我从未意识到我的滑冰影响力已经超出了花样滑冰界，这让我意识到自己走了多远，滑冰带我走了多远。”

奥运会结束后，人们才能真正体会到其深远影响。

“我确实还没有时间好好消化这一切，静下心来感受所有。”他说道。

在米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会上，他远非唯一一位卷入音乐相关争议的滑冰选手。

俄罗斯选手彼得·古缅尼克以中立运动员身份参赛，因版权问题在周二的短节目开始前最后一刻更换了配乐。他原计划使用心理惊悚片《香水：一个谋杀犯的故事》中的音乐，后改用一部俄罗斯爱情史诗的曲目。就连美国冠军安伯·格伦也曾与一位加拿大艺术家陷入版权纠纷。

萨巴特接下来有何计划？他一直在回复大量粉丝的留言，而更多互动可能还在路上。

他说：“我想成为那种会回复粉丝的人。他们花时间给你写信，我也想花时间回应。”
