The skaters’ short dance on Monday afternoon, which aired Sunday night stateside, was marred by the wardrobe malfunction, in which Papadakis’ top appeared to come unclasped from around her neck — resulting in part of her left breast being briefly exposed on the ice.

Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who became the first American figure skating pair to capture gold in an Olympic ice dancing event at Sochi 2014, shouldn’t have taken first place, according to some.
Meryl Davis, Charlie White Gold Medal Win Sparks Controversy
Since figure skating, like a number of Olympic sports, is scored by subjective judgments instead of objective scores, there’s always room for disagreement when points are awarded. After Monday’s event, there’s been ample speculation that previous gold medalists, Canadians Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, were robbed – victims of corrupt judges.
"I don't understand the judging," tweeted former Finnish skater Petri Kokko, for whom one of the mandatory parts of an ice dancing routine is named. @Virtue_Moir should be leading in my honest opinion.”

Their training companions, the Vancouver gold medalists and non-Disney characters Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada, settled for silver. And Russian youth sorcerers Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov took the bronze after Monday’s finals in the Iceberg Skating Palace — indisputably the Planet Mirrorballus of Sochi, Russia.

NBC’s primetime Olympics broadcast Sunday will be remembered as the night that reporter Christin Cooper made Bode Miller cry by essentially asking what he was saying to his late brother, Chilly, when he spoke to the sky before his run in the men’s Super-g. We’ve devoted a separate item to it, which includes Miller’s response to the backlash against Cooper, and you can read that here. I think it was a fair question — considering how open both Bode and his wife Morgan, who’s allowed herself to be mic’d during Bode’s events in Sochi,...

Warning: Don't keep reading if you want to remain spoiler-free as to the outcome of the team figure skating event, which enters its third and final day Sunday (Feb. 9). It will be featured in NBC's primetime broadcast this evening, which begins at 7 p.m. Et/Pt.
The first event in the 2014 Winter Olympics team figure skating finals is the men's free skate. The U.S., Canada and Japan all chose to have a different man skate in the long program than who competed earlier in the short program.
For the U.S., Jason Brown was subbed in for Jeremy Abbott. Brown, in his Olympics debut, put forth a solid performance but did fall on one of his jumps. With Canada finishing in second place for the men, it mathematically eliminated the U.S. for the silver medal.
The final men's results:
Russia, Yevgeny Plushenko, 168.20
Canada, Kevin Reynolds, 167.92

Warning: Don't keep reading if you would like to remain spoiler-free for the team figure skating opening competition, the ice dancing and women's short programs portion. They will be featured in primetime Saturday (Feb. 8) on NBC.
The U.S. had some ground to make up after the men's and pairs short programs in the team figure skating competition at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Both of those programs had some mistakes and after Thursday's competitions, Team USA was in seventh place. Only the Top 5 teams advance after the short program portion is concluded, so the U.S. needs big skates from ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White and women's singles skater Ashley Wagner.
Davis and White did their part. They skated a beautiful program that was incredibly synchronized, which is something the judges look for. Their top score catapulted the U.S. into third place in the team standings.

Is the mirror ball trophy the key to winning Olympic gold? After 16 years of skating together and a frustrating second-place silver at Vancouver, ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White are hoping ballroom choreography by five-time Dancing with the Stars champ Derek Hough will give them the edge at Sochi. "We are a totally different team. We've really taken it to the next level this year," says White, 26, partnered with Davis, 27, since they were kids growing up 10 minutes apart in the Michigan suburbs. The platonic power couple, whose moms still go with them everywhere, delivered a stunning, near-perfect performance at the U.
