Georgian skaters Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava presented a Mortal Kombat-themed performance during the Olympics Exhibition Gala.
This event operates distinct from competitive judging, as it does not involve judging by a panel of experts, but rather by audience reception.
The routine commenced with the skaters revealing their Mortal Kombat-themed costumes. Berulava was dressed as Sub-Zero, and Metelkina as Kitana. They performed to the 'Techno Syndrome' theme, incorporating simulated punches, signature character moves, and actions depicting dazed fighters.
