Japanese figure skating star Daisuke Takahashi is looking to the expertise of top French choreographer Muriel Boucher-Zazoui to help him land gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Takahashi, the first Japanese man to win an Olympic medal with his bronze in Vancouver and the first to win a world title in 2010, has travelled to Boucher-Zazoui's training group in Lyon for an intensive two-week programme.
Ice dance specialist Boucher-Zazoui has worked with some of the world's top skaters including former Olympic and world ice dancing champions Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat of France.
After struggling to fifth at this year's world championships the 25-year-old Takahashi hopes that her flair will help him compete with the up-and-coming generation of skaters in the coming years.
