Jean Frederic Chapuis hails "perfect" day

Gold medallist Jean Frederic Chapuis says that topping an all-French podium in the ski cross event is a perfect outcome.

Ski cross gold medallist Jean Frederic Chapuis has said that winning the event with two fellow Frenchman alongside him on the podium is a "perfect" result.

Chapuis won the four-man final on Thursday, with Arnaud Bovolenta claiming silver and Jonathan Midol taking third.

"I was joking with them yesterday, saying that all three on the podium would be good and it's happened," Chapuis told reporters. "It's perfect but we didn't have a strategy.

"There are three places for the podium, one for the loser. We are friends off the slopes, but on the slopes we are enemies so I tried to do my best.'"

Chapuis is now the reigning Olympic and world champion.
