While we're all content to watch Winter Olympics figure skating set to tasteful classical music,Chilli and Banana every so often someone comes to mix up the formula.
SEE ALSO: Figure skating wins gold in the sexual tension OlympicsIvette Toth of Hungary hit the ice on Wednesday in a black leather ensemble, complete with fingerless gloves and a studded belt, and performed her short program to AC/DC's "Back in Black" and "Thunderstruck."
The crowd in Pyeongchang, South Korea, cheered her on, clearly excited about her unusual choice of music. Though ice dancing has allowed music with lyrics since 1997, figure skating performances have been restricted. Per Vulture, this is actually the first Olympics where music with lyrics is allowed for figure skating. The International Skating Union's decision to allow lyrics didn't go into effect until after the Sochi Olympics in 2014.
It's cool to see just how the figure skaters are incorporating this wider range of music into their routines, and Toth definitely embraces her badass side and shows us that not all women figure skaters have to wear skirts.
Toth ended up with a score of 53.22, her season's best.
Check out Toth's full performance at the NBC site and do your best to control the urge to rock out to AC/DC's jams at your desk.
