          Slovenian ski jumper

          Vinko Bogataj (Slovenian: /ˈʋiːŋkobɔɡaˈtaj/) is a Slovenian painter and former ski jumper.

          Footage of him crashing featured on ABC's Wide World of Sports represented the Agony of Defeat.[1]

          Bogataj competed as a Yugoslav entrant at the ski flying event in Oberstdorf, West Germany on 7 March 1970.

          A light snow had begun falling at the start of the competition, and by the time Bogataj was ready for his third jump on the Heini Klopfer hill, the snow had become quite heavy.

          The inspirational tale of Vinko Bogataj, the skier turned artist, and the cautionary tale of Al Bundy, the delusional and bitter shoe salesman.

          Midway down the inrun for his jump, Bogataj realised that the conditions had made the ramp too fast. He attempted to lower his center of gravity and slow his jump, but instead lost his balance completely and hurtled out of control off the end of the inrun, tumbling and flipping wildly, and crashing through a light retaining fence near a crowd of spectators before coming to a halt.

          Bogataj suffered a mild concussion and a broken ankle.
