Nicole Scott wasn’t the first figure skater — even the first German figure skater — to perform to the music from the movie Schindler's List.
That didn’t stop those using social media from expressing their displeasure as Scott skated to the score during the ladies' long program Friday in the Winter Olympics.
The Oscar-winning film directed by Steven Spielberg told the story of a businessman who saved more than a thousand Jewish refugees during the Holocaust.
The violin-based soundtrack composed by John Williams strangely has been in the regular rotation since the film came out in 1993. Months after its U.S. debut, German figure skater and two-time Olympic gold medalist Katarina Witt performed to the score. However, that was not at an Olympic competition.
The music also was used in 2014 at the Sochi Games by Russian figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya, who helped her team win gold.
