French to look a cut above the rest

It should come as no surprise that some women from fashion-aware France traveled to the Olympics with their own tailor, but those same people will also take part in the ski jumping event at the Sochi Winter Games.

Behind Coline Mattel's maiden World Cup victory on the Sochi hill in December 2012 is Frederic Zoz, the team assistant coach who learnt to design competitive outfits on the job.

He is one of only "five or six" tailors working for ski jumpers on the World Cup circuit and the only one on the women's side.
