When you skate to music from “Game of Thrones,” you win or you lose.

Germany’s Paul Fentz failed to wow the judges in the men’s free skating event at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Saturday.

Game of Thrones music to Olympics Figure Skating? I love it. All we need is Khaleesi flying in on one of her dragons. Or better yet, the Night King refreezing the ice with his night dragon.

This German figure skater is doing his routine to a Game of Thrones soundtrack. The commentators are making Game of Thrones references. And I am here for it.

Watching Men's Figure Skating on TV here and then German man is skating to the theme song of #GameOfThrones and wearing a costume that matches the music. Pretty smart. #PyeongChang2018 #Olympics
