GANGNEUNG, South Korea —
French ice dancer Gabriella Papadakis was left devastated after an untimely wardrobe malfunction took the shine off her short program performance at the Winter Olympics.
Papadakis, who was in second place with 81.93 alongside Guillaume Cizeron at the halfway point, battled on after an embarrassing mishap that left her dress, which came with a haltertop, unfastened at the beginning of the routine and later appeared to reveal the lower part of her bosom.
The accident took place when Papadakis threw herself backwards on the final element of the performance and her costume rode upwards in a revealing manner.
