Figure skater Humennik was not approved of the music for the short program of the 2026 Olympics

Figure skater Pyotr Gumennik was banned from performing at the Olympics to the soundtrack from "The Perfumer" due to copyright issues. In response, fans launched a flash mob on social media demanding that the athlete roll back the program.

According to Sport-Express, Humennik may perform at the 2026 Olympics with a short program from last year to the soundtrack from the movie Dune. Humennik is scheduled to present a short program on February 10. The free skate is scheduled for the 13th.

In response to the injustice towards the athlete, social media users launched a hashtag, which translated into Russian sounds like "Let Peter Humennik ride under the "Perfumer". With such an appeal, fans are attacking the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on social media.
