Girls with teabags in bras, moustaches on faces

With tea bags stuffed inside a bra and drawn-on moustaches, snowboarders are making a name for themselves as much for their quirky superstitions as their dare-devil, gravity-defying tricks.

It goes without saying that to accelerate up to a jump and fling yourself into a 'triple cork' or 'Yolo flip' takes a certain amount of guts, perhaps even a touch of craziness.

But at the Olympic Games in Sochi, snowboarders are relying on more than just their own skills or divine intervention, some are also turning to witchcraft to help them in their daring quests.
