Winter Olympics 2018: Figure skater Gabriella Papadakis covers up after wardrobe malfunction… but accidentally flashes bum instead during final routine


THE figure skater who accidentally flashed her nipple during her routine covered up for her final performance – but managed to flash her bum instead.

Frenchwoman Gabriella Papadakis exposed her left breast to millions watching the Winter Olympics yesterday after a wardrobe malfunction.

The 22-year-old’s green top somehow managed to become unclipped, exposing her to the world.

Today she was covered up with a high necklined dress, but her backside was exposed instead.

And during rhythmic spins with her partner Guillaume Cizeron, her derriere flashed up on TV cameras instead.

She was, of course, wearing underwear that was sensible enough, but still allowed her to perform her incredible routine with Cizeron, 23.

The pair were on course for the gold, after performing a personal best routine to score 123.35, the highest score of the final round.

But it ended on a bum note as they were pipped by the Canadian pair of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, whose short dance score was less than two points ahead of the French.

The French and Canadians were miles ahead of the chasing pack, with Americans Maia and Alex Shibutani completing the rostrum.

TV chiefs were grilled on social media for showing slow-motion replays of Papadakis’ nip slip, with the Olympic Broadcasting System responsible for airing coverage for other nations.

She was the second skater to suffer a wardrobe malfunction after Yura Min’s Olympic debut was hit by a similar issue.
