Bogdan Norčič (19 September 1953, Kranj – 4 April 2004, Cerklje na Gorenjskem) was a Yugoslavian ski jumper of Slovene ethnicity. He competed at the 1976 and 1980 Winter Olympics.[1]
On 20 March 1977, Norčič crashed during an attempt at the world world record for longest ski jump. Although he soared a world record distance of 181m (594feet) from Velikanka bratov Gorišek K165 in Planica in Yugoslavia, the feat was not official because he failed to land safely.[2] [3] The same distance would be achieved as an official record, in 1983, by Pavel Ploc at Harrachov, and would be exceeded by Matti Nykänen at Oberstdorf in 1990.
