16-year-old Russian Olympic figure skater Kamila Valieva took home the silver medal at the 2023 Russian Figure Skating Championships last week.
Her Wednesday-inspired routine, however, took the internet by storm.
Kalieva—dressed as Wednesday Addams, complete with hair and makeup—began her routine outside of the rink alongside her hand sidekick Thing as the Netflix series' theme song played.
As she entered the rink, the music changed to The Cramps tune "Goo Goo Muck," and Kalieva transitioned to skate to Jenna Ortega's choreography from the school dance scene in Wednesday (episode four).

Toward the end of the routine, the music changed once again, this time to Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary"—the song TikTokers are using in their own videos of the Wednesday dance.
Check out the full routine below.

Valieva's free skate took the top score and her overall 247.32 points placed her just behind 15-year-old Sofia Akateva.
