'''Jean-Noël Augert''' (born 17 August 1949) is a [[France|French]] former [[Alpine Skiing|alpine skier]]. He competed at the 1972 Olympics and finished in fifth place in the slalom and giant slalom.<ref name=sr/>
Augert was born in [[Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne]] and grew at the [[La Toussuire]] ski resort, [[Savoy]]. he debuted in the [[Alpine Skiing World Cup]] with a victory, at the [[Adelboden]] [[giant slalom]] (6 January 1969). Nicknamed "Rosko", he was, however, a specialist of the [[Slalom skiing|slalom]] discipline, in which he won three World Cups in 1969, 1971 and 1972, and in which he won a Gold medal at the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1970|1970 World Championships]] in [[Val Gardena]]. He was also second in the overall classification of the [[1969 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1969 World Cup]] and third in the Giant Slalom World Cup 1969. Besides his 15 wins in World Cup races, he finished 15 times at the podium (place two: 6 slaloms, 3 giant slaloms; place three: 2 slaloms, 4 giant slaloms). He came fifth in both the men's slalom and giant slalom at the [[Alpine skiing at the 1972 Winter Olympics|1972 Winter Olympics]].<ref name=sr>
Becoming fifth in the Giant Slalom at [[Sapporo]] did come up to his expectations, but the other fifth place didn't (it was disappointing). Because he did win the Slalom Races at [[Lauberhorn]] and [[Hahnenkamm, Kitzbühel|Hahnenkamm]] (known as the most difficult Slalom Races) a few weeks before - he was the odds-one favorite.
