Gion Flurin Caviezel (20 August 1936 – 1 November 2004) was a Swiss bobsledder who competed in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Born in Samaden, son of Berta Amalia Graf and Jakob Caviezel, a police officer, Gion Caviezel studied as an engineer.

Gion Caviezel had won the Swiss bobsled championships for three times. He won a bronze medal in the two-man event at the 1970 FIBT World Championships in St. Moritz.

Gion Cavieziel died in St. Moritz on 1 November 2004 after a short illness. FIBT president Robert H. Storey mourned him.

Incident

In 1967, Gion Caviezel was arrested after the discovery of the body of a 21-year-old Alsatian woman, Evelyne North, who was his girlfriend; the young woman was stabbed and shot near her home in Molsheim, 26 km (16 mi) west of Strasbourg. Caviezel's business card was found in the woman's house; the police released him soon after because there was no evidence against him.

Personal life

He married Maria Felicitas Frank in May 1973 and had two daughters, Flurina Christina and Barbara.
