Contents.Agony of Defeat jump Bogataj competed as a entrant at the event in, 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, the snow had become quite heavy. Midway down the inrun for his jump, Bogataj realised that the conditions had made the ramp too fast.

He attempted to lower his and stop his jump, but instead lost his balance completely and rocketed 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 and a broken ankle.A film crew from Wide World of Sports was recording the event in which Bogataj crashed. The show featured an opening narration by host over a montage of sports clips, and co-ordinating producer Dennis Lewin inserted the footage of the crash to coincide with the words '.and the agony of defeat.'

He received the loudest ovation of any athlete introduced at the gala, and attendees such as asked him for his. Later life Bogataj returned to ski jumping in 1971 but never duplicated the success he had before the crash and retired from the sport competitively, save for occasional senior competitions thereafter. During his career, his best career finish was 57th in the individual normal hill competition in in 1969 during that year's.Bogataj became a ski instructor, coaching the Slovenian ski jumper.
