It is like a blind spot in the particle world.

It sounds weird with に anyway, to me. It's hard to justify the use of に: 選手権 isn't the indirect object of 優勝する. It's, if any kind of object, a direct object requiring を (but this isn't used). But we use で instead because it's sort of locational (requiring the locative で particle), right?
「選手権にて優勝する」という意味ですよね。
