Chamblon: Philip Egli demands an audit

AFTERNOON Philip Egli has appealed against the result of the Chamblon slalom on June 23. He was wrongly given a gate fault in the second race run, which he is not supposed to have committed.

The Glarner, who lives in Zurich, was given ten penalty seconds for the alleged goal error. As a result, the day's win went to sports car driver Lukas Eugster. Prior to this, Philip Egli had won all five races in the Swiss Slalom Championship in his Dallara EPR-2.

In his letter, Egli emphasizes: "I did not notice in my second race run that I had committed an alleged gate error. Based on my onboard video, I can prove that I did not make a mistake at gate 60 and that the pylon was already on the ground meters away."

Further Egli explains, "With the onboard video I can present a new fact which the jury can use to re-evaluate the situation. I request a revision of the final ranking of the 2019 Chamblon Slalom according to ISG Article 14."

In Chamblon (and before in Bure) not all marshals, mainly from French-speaking Switzerland, took it as carefully as this young lady. This had consequences for several competitors, but only Egli is now fighting back.
