The 2022 Olympics have only just begun and there’s already a front-runner for… most, er, accomplishments. German ice dance duo Katharina Meuller and Tim Dieck performed a routine inspired by the Joker and Harley Quinn during Thursday’s rhythm dance competition.
In case it wasn’t obvious from their costumes, the version of Joker and Harley they chose was Jared Leto and Margot Robbie suicide squad
The pair’s routine began with Dieck’s joker facial expression breaking Meuller’s Quinn’s neck and got worse from there – a move described as “aggressive” by the dry and professional Olympics commentator. Their not-so-great routine didn’t include too many more explicit nods to the duo’s character inspirations. But at the very end, just as the music turned to Leto’s joker laugh, Dieck committed to a big backbend for the final pose. This move earned the event’s commentary team a “Dear Me.”
Unfortunately, things didn’t get any better for the skaters after that. The routine, commentators said, “appeared very cautious and very nervous.” The judges agreed and gave the duo a 63.21, earning them 10th place (out of 10) for the event. It’s no surprise considering how shaky the pair looked at almost every trick.
The good news is that since this event technically took place several hours before the official opening ceremony of the Olympics, there is still plenty of time for another athlete to compete as another Suicide Squad member.
