We're not gonna lie, listening to Beyoncéon the way into work can brighten up the gloomiest of commutes. And, facing speeds of 90mph in a tiny ice tunnel that only ends up at the bottom of a hill, Kate Hansen has a lot of (extra) reasons to listen to Beyoncé*
When asked what was on her headphones while she was popping and locking ahead of her competition, the 21-year-old responded: 'My girl, Bey – she just gets me fierce and I get stoked and I have to. I have good mojo going on, so it's just how I roll.'
She admitted that she doesn't give a damn who's watching her routine, adding: 'Honestly, I'm in my own world ... I'm completely in my own world – and it doesn't matter who's staring – I'm still going to dance.'
The video has already been slowed down, set to some muzak, and uploaded to YouTube under the heading 'Luger Kate Hansen Sexy Warm Up Dance At Sochi Winter Olympics 2014,' but that's totally creepy, so here's a gif of it instead:
And, here's a video of a man getting annoyed at her for not doing a 'sports-specific' warm-up like the other lugers
To be honest, if luging is allowed to be a sport, then a Beyoncé workout is allowed to be a warm-up. And, by the way, it might not look like any of Beyoncé's dances, but it really is. According to Kate's Twitter: 'I know all of Beyonce's choreo by heart and I wear Spandex for a living. Sochi 2014 shakaaaaaa'
And also, er, FYI, Kate's a Mormon!
*As if that new album wasn't reason enough
