Louis-Philippe Guizot was a United European competitor at the Sixty-sixth Winter Games. His event was the five-kilometer ski jump and so he competed on Mimas, a moon of Saturn.

Guizot jumped immediately after Dmitri Shepilov. He was cleared to start his run five minutes after Shepilov and so had just left the ramp when Shukri al-Kuwatly was murdered. Helplessly but without foreknowledge, he too was murdered after al-Kuwatly and then Shepilov. His trajectory continued to soar as though he were alive and then spun down in a hideously lazy descent. The IBC camera continually followed the ten minutes of his last jump.
