biography
Caviezel took part in FIS races and national (youth) championships from winter 2003/2004 . He won several medals at Swiss Junior Championships and the bronze medal in Super-G at the European Youth Olympic Festival 2005 in Monthey . After his first victory in an FIS race, Caviezel started in the European Cup for the first time in February 2006 . A month later, he won the silver medal in combination at the 2006 Junior World Championships in the Canadian province of Québec . In the European Cup he achieved top 10 placements in the slalom and super combination disciplines from the 2007/2008 season . He achieved his first podium on March 3, 2010 with third place in the super combination of Sarntal / Reinswald . The second podium followed on January 7, 2011 with third place in the Wengen Super-G .
From March 2008 Caviezel will also compete in the World Cup , initially in individual slalom and from 2011 in Super-G and giant slalom . However, he did not win World Cup points in this phase. He celebrated his greatest success at national level to date in March 2011, when he became Swiss Super-G champion at the same time as Christian Spescha in St. Moritz . On November 24th, 2011 Caviezel had a hard fall in the second round of the FIS Giant Slalom in Zinal . In addition to a shoulder dislocation, he suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament and injuries to the outer meniscus of his left knee, which is why the 2011/12 season ended early for him.
It was not until March 2013 that Caviezel was able to contest ski races again. On January 11, 2014, he celebrated his first European Cup victory on the shortened Lauberhorn run in Wengen . Six days later he also won his first World Cup points in Wengen, with 12th place in the super combined. On January 26th, 2014 he finished 5th in the Kitzbühel Super Combined and thus achieved his first top 10 classification; He equalized this result on March 19, 2015 in the Super-G of Méribel . At the 2017 World Championships in St. Moritz , he surprisingly won the bronze medal in combination. His first World Cup podium result followed on March 16, 2017 with third place in the Super-G in Aspen .
There were no podium places in the 2017/18 World Cup season . Caviezel finished in the top ten six times, and a fourth place in the combination for Bormio was his best result this winter. He participated in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang . There he finished 12th in the combination and 13th in the downhill, while he was eliminated in the Super-G. In the 2018/19 World Cup season , he definitely made his breakthrough to the top. He achieved five more podium places and various top 10 placements. He finished the season in third place in both the Super-G and the combined rankings. At the Alpine World Ski Championships in Åre in 2019 , he finished seventh in the combination and ninth in the downhill.
Caviezel celebrated his greatest success so far in the 2019/20 World Cup season by winning the Super-G discipline. Although he did not win any of the six races held, he was able to prevail thanks to his consistently good performance. He was second and fourth twice and third and fifth each time. Since the last two races in Kvitfjell and Cortina d'Ampezzo had to be canceled, he was the winner of the discipline early, with a three-point advantage over the Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr . Two more podium places came in the downhill and in the combination.
In the preparations for the 20/21 season , Caviezel suffered an Achilles tendon tear in his left foot.
