Hungarian figure skater Ivett Toth rocked the rink during the short program at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Dressed appropriately in black—including a vest with Angus Young doing his duck walk on the back—Toth skated to AC/DC’s “Back in Black” and “Thunderstruck.”
And while she didn’t earn a medal, she definitely stuck gold according to the internet. Or should we say she “Thunderstruck” gold? Doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you watch the below clip of her performance and then check out the reactions on Twitter.

— Wade Firaben (@WFiraben) February 21, 2018New favorite skater ever: Ivett Toth, who is skating to AC/DC's Back in Black and Thunderstruck. I feel like I'm at an NFL game. (Or working out in the gym.) She's wearing what looks like leather biker gear. The old judges are nearly fainting. You be yourself, girl!

You’ve seen a skating routine set to Disturbed’s cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” and there have also been routines skated to the likes of David Bowie and Pink Floyd, among others.
Here’s the full routine, as recorded during the European Championships earlier this year.
