  • Figure Skater Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction At Winter Olympics

    Janet Jackson will forever be associated with the term ‘wardrobe malfunction’, so here’s hoping a similar fate doesn’t befall French ice dancer Gabriella Papadakis.

    During her routine with partner Guillaume Cizeron on Monday, she ended up a touch more exposed than any skater would like.

    To her eternal credit she kept going, finishing the routine in second place.

    This via the Independent:

    Once the pair had finished the routine and Papadakis had covered herself back up, she waved to both the crowd and judges before leaving the ice with an exasperated look on her face, and she said afterwards that it was one of the worst outcomes possible while competing at the Winter Olympics.

    “It was pretty distracting,” Papadakis said. “My worst nightmare at the Olympics. I told myself ‘you have to keep going’.

    “That’s what we did, and we have to be proud of ourselves, delivering a great performance”…

    Unfortunately, part of the figure skating scoring system is judged on costume and the aesthetics of the performance, meaning that the French pair were penalised for the wardrobe malfunction. Otherwise their score of 81.93 points could easily have surpassed the leaders’ total of 83.67, posted by Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada.

    I’m not going to drop the video here – with a little Google work I’m sure you’ll find your own way.

    Seems odd that they would deduct points for costume, right?

    Not to be defeated, and showing serious skill and strength, the pair returned to the ice today. Via USA Today:

    Less than 24 hours removed from becoming the most discussed figure skater at these Winter Olympics and the humiliation of being, literally, undressed in public, Papadakis was at peace.

    Not just peace but triumph. The French ice dancer and partner Guillaume Cizeron turned in a spectacular performance to rock the free dance and claim silver at the Gangneung Ice Arena. It was raw, emotional, thrilling stuff, made all the more meaningful by what had preceded it.

    NAILED IT.

    That’s how you come back from a nip-slip, good people.
