The Russian ice skating costume was a bad choice. I'm sure the original intent of the costumes was to honor the aboriginal culture as they claim and their routine was designed to be a shout out to the aborigini. (That sucks even more since their facial expressions were silly and they are even more silly in still photos.)
But, when in doubt, don't do it. Many things aren't opportunities to pay homage or to teach and learn. The lesson gets lost in the jacked up context. They were there to perform and wow the crowd--they should've chosen some catchy outfits to do so so their routine wouldn't get lost in the "awkward silence" that happened during their performance. Their rank went down and it was partly (maybe mostly) a result of the costumes and facial expressions.
