Best Twitter Reaction To Ivett Toth’s AC/DC Figure Skating Routine
If you’ve been following the Olympics, you know that the Ladies’ Short Program was last night and included some interesting song choices thanks to the new rule that allows skaters to use music with lyrics.
The most surprising and welcome music choice for rock fans that happened to be watching was the AC/DC medley of “Back in Black” and “Thunderstruck” used by Ivett Toth from Hungary.
The only bummer about the whole AC/DC moment came from commentator/former Olympic skater Johnny Weir who complained that he didn’t understand any of the lyrics. Commentator/Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski also wasn’t kind about the song choice either.
However, leave it to fellow commentator/Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton to show some support.
I loved it! To skate on Olympic Ice for Short Program to @acdc was literally #music to my ears. I loved every step and every note. I’ve always supported something brave, when it’s totally legit. @NBCOlympics https://t.co/sRHvVmZl7K

Here are some of our other favorite Twitter reactions to Toth’s AC/DC program.
Figure skater from Hungary gets my vote for skating to AC/DC medley. Never mind that she over rotated on her triple axle. Thunderstruck at the Olympis is a good thing.

Alas @JohnnyGWeir, when you try to use @acdc as a blunt object of #olympics criticism, you only end sounding hopelessly out of tune, out of ideas & witless

Ditch the frilly dresses & sequins. Props to #IvettToth for her leather-clad figure-skating to AC/DC’s Thunderstruck

#Olympics #FigureSkating Top women were conventional and boring (except maybe the black swan). More AC/DC, pantsuits, and uniqueness! No more sequins, skirts, and Bielman spins!!

I know nothing about figure skating, but I’m cheering for the girl who just did a routine to @acdc Thunderstruck. 🤘🏼Of course the narrow minded douche announcers buried her choice of music. #WinterOlympics

3 girls skating to “Carmen” and we’ve got @JohnnyGWeir bitching about AC/DC 🙄 You of all people should respect someone with individual flair. #PyeongChang2018 #Olympics

If you're a woman who is gonna skate to AC/DC in a biker-themed costume at the Olympics I am gonna be your fan for life.

She might not be the best skater tonight, but Ivett Toth is my hero for skating to AC/DC in a black studded band 'jacket' in competition at the Olympics.

Hungary’s #IvettToth just skated to AC/DC's Back in Black/Thunderstruck wearing leather and NBC commentator #JohnnyWeir didn’t like the routine because he could understand what they were singing. I thought it was unique, exciting, fun & rock ‘n’ roll! #YouGoGirl!#WinterOlympics pic.twitter.com/3RknAX5tsX

As far as I'm concerned you can give Ivett Toth a gold medal, a Heisman, a Pulitzer, whatever she wants for that AC/DC routine.

My sister is watching figure skating and tells me, “There is a little Hungarian girl doing her program to AC/DC!” That girl is my hero.
