FORMER Olympic downhill champion Jean Vuarnet has died aged 83, French local newspaper Le Dauphine Libere reported on Monday. Vuarnet, who won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics, died of a stroke in Sallanches in the French Alps, the newspaper said. He invented the aerodynamic ‘egg position’ used by ski racers and worked with optician Roger Pouilloux on the Skilynx lens that allowed enhanced perception of contrasts in white-out conditions, launching the Vuarnet sunglasses brand made popular by celebrities such as Miles Davis and Mick Jagger.
