A French Olympic ice dancer accidentally flashed the entire crowd during a wardrobe malfunction Monday.

Gabriella Papadakis, 22, and Guillaume Cizeron, 23, won second place in the ice dancing competition despite Papadakis’ embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, reported the Daily Mail. Papadakis’ green costume unfastened causing a nip-slip during her performance. Despite the costume flaw she still managed to skate through her routine.

Despite holding it together, Papadakis was shaken up following her performance.

“It was pretty distracting, kind of my worst nightmare happening at the Olympics. I told myself, “I don’t have a choice. I have to keep going,” and that’s what we did. I think we can be proud of ourselves being able to deliver a great performance with that happening,” said Papadakis.

“I felt it right away and I prayed,” she added, in order to fix her costume while performing, reported The Guardian.

Cizeron said that the wardrobe malfunction was “disappointing” since it potentially leads to a point deduction. “It’s just a costume issue, something as stupid as that, so it’s a little bit disappointing,” he added. The pair finished with 81.93 points, putting them in second place behind Canadian ice dancing team Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.

South Korean figure skater Yura Min also experienced a wardrobe malfunction during her performance, forcing her to change her routine while performing to prevent an embarrassing situation Feb. 11.
