Gabriella Papadakis suffered a wardrobe malfunction 10 seconds into her programme during the figure skating event at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.
She remembered it as her one of the worst nightmares.
A heavy title favourite along with partner Guillaume Cizeron, Papadakis’s dress slipped during their routine in Pyeongchang but the French pair demonstrated remarkable composure and were in second place behind Canada’s Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.
The mishap happened when the 22-year-old Papadakis leaned backwards early on and Cizeron inadvertently unclipped the back of her green costume.
Her halter-top, complete with tassels and spangles, edged sideways to briefly expose her left breast.
The duo was still able to finish their short dance as Papadakis tried to keep her chest covered, but she left the ice in tears.
“felt it right away and prayed.”
“It was pretty distracting,” Papadakis added. “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 with that happening.” She added.
Cizeron added: “It’s just frustrating to miss a few points because of a costume issue. It is not what we get ready for when we train.”
Papadakis is not the first figure skater to have a wardrobe fail at Winter Olympics.
