Editorial Analysis

Poor wardrobe malfunction does not knock down ice dancer Gabriella Papadakis says father\n\nThe Texas resident father of Gabriella Papadakis, the unfortunate French ice dancer whose costume was opened to reveal more than it should have been on Monday, says her daughter will not be defeated. Emmanuel Papadakis, a warm and optimistic entrepreneur who runs a food truck business in Austin, recounted his disappointment at the embarrassing malfunction that exposed Gabriella's chest by competing with Guillaume Cizeron at the short dance. But he will not tear it down, said Papadakis. She is so hard and has put so much work. You wait and see what goes out and does. I'm very proud of her, especially today.\n\nGabriella Papadakis could have skated on the judges' table when her backless dress was released at the beginning of her routine with Cizeron, and she asked to be allowed to fix it. Doing so, however, would have led to a deduction of five points, and French athletes go for gold. Fighting with the top without taking off during the performance caused some difficulties in the ice and many tears of frustration after, but still scored enough to land in second place when entering the free dance. People see something, continued Emmanuel Papadakis. Yes, something happened. But I hope that people can understand enough to think about what really matters. They do not see that years of effort were required to get here and try to be the best possible.
