Jean-Noël Augert (born August 17, 1949 in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne ) is a former French ski racer . He is married to the former ski racer Françoise Macchi and is the uncle of Jean-Pierre Vidal and the cousin of Jean-Pierre Augert .
biography
Augert grew up in the La Toussuire winter sports station and learned to ski there. He contested his first international race in December 1966 in Val-d'Isère . From 1967 he took part in the then newly introduced Ski World Cup. His breakthrough to the top of the world came in the 1968/69 season when he won the Slalom World Cup. With three victories this season, he reached second place in the overall World Cup, although he never achieved a World Cup point in the downhill .
His greatest success was winning the gold medal in slalom at the 1970 Ski World Championships in Val Gardena , in which the podium positions were only 0.06 seconds apart.
On the "Kitzbühel Weekend" 1971 (January 23/24, 1971) he won two slaloms, but the slalom held on January 23 was only held as a replacement program for the downhill run, which was not achieved due to the unfavorable weather conditions, and as an "FIS slalom" “, So it was not part of the World Cup. In the 1970/71 season he was able to win the Slalom World Cup again.
After winning the slalom in both Wengen and Kitzbühel in 1972, he was considered the favorite for the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo . While the fifth place in the giant slalom met expectations, the fifth place in the slalom turned out to be a bitter disappointment. After all, at the end of this season he won the Slalom World Cup for the third time.
At the beginning of the 1973/74 season Augert fell out (together with the top drivers Henri Duvillard , Patrick Russel , Roger Rossat-Mignod ) with the French Ski Federation, drove professional races until 1975 and then resigned. In the same year he married Françoise Macchi . Augert is now the owner of a sports shop and a restaurant in the Le Corbier winter sports station , where he lives during the winter months. His main residence is in Évian-les-Bains .
