[QUOTE="Admin, post: 70261, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/02/23/gettyimages-2262369940-1771858734531.jpg[/IMG] A pair of figure skaters at the Winter Olympics performed a brilliant tribute to [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/mortal-kombat']Mortal Kombat[/URL] during the event's final days that's well worth a watch. The routine was created by Georgian skaters Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava, who used their appearance in the Olympics' more lighthearted Exhbition Gala to skate while dressed up as Kitana and Sub-Zero. Together, the duo traded fake punches to the fighting game franchise's classic Techno Syndrome music. Thankfully there was no actual blood or fatalities on the ice, though the routine did end with Sonya's kiss of death. Friendship? Not likely.
