Bogdan Norčič


Bogdan Norčič was a Yugoslavian ski jumper of Slovene ethnicity.

Career

He competed at the 1976 and 1980 Winter Olympics. In March 1977 at Planica he jumped 181 m, but touched the snow during the landing, so the new world record was not recognised. Same jump was matched 6 years later by Pavel Ploc at Harrachov and over-jumped by Matti Nykänen at Oberstdorf 7 years after.
