it may have helped them... or not... since we live in the what ifs... what if the wardrobe malfunction had happened at the team event... and the French would have lost their edge over VM. + the French team not qualifying for the FD, so no opportunity to take the ice... getting even more nervous about that evil dress for the ice dance RD event.. It may have even been worse for them just playing the what if game of course... but yeah i guess it's a slow day for me.... may the best man be chosen for the USA team.Near and dear to your heart: This exact scenario played out in 2018 when V/M skated both segments of the team event, but P/C opted out of the SP because France didn't have a reasonable expectation of advancing to the free programs.
I've often wondered how things would have played out if the French had taken the opportunity to get that first Olympic performance under their belts before the individual event.
