When I was a kid I loved watching The Wide World of Sports each Saturday, especially for the intro where the same ski jumper racked himself over and over. I really pity that guy, because he became the embodiment of “the agony of defeat,” and the whole world saw his famous ignosecond and groaned. Every week.
Although he walked away with only a mild concussion, Vinko Bogataj‘s name is relegated to trivia games and the occasional Overnight Open Thread.
[Update: Waldensianspirit found this link to Vinko Bogotaj’s artworks. I like it.]
