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

Updated on Feb 24, 2018 at 8:45 PM

Y'all, figure skating 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 (hello, Ed Sheeran and ACDC) to openly gay athletes truly thriving on ice, and now to some seriously sassy and empowering wardrobe choices 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.
