France's Mattel in second win of season

SAPPORO: French teenage ski jumper Coline Mattel notched up her second win of the season on Saturday in Sapporo in northern Japan, to move up to second in the World Cup standings.

The 17-year-old, the winner at Sochi in December, went 93.0 metres for 120.2 points in the first jump to win the event. The second jump was cancelled due to strong winds.
