You may not be familiar with the name Maé-Bérénice Méité, but in recent days the French figure skater has lit up various social media networks because of her Winter Olympics performance.
This is the first Winter Olympics that skaters can choose to perform to songs with lyrics, and Méité certainly chose an attention-grabbing tune for her routine - choosing Run the World (Girls) for the ladies' short program.
We have to say, it actually works pretty well.

Meite's choice to skate to Beyoncé should merit a gold medal #olympics #figureskating
