Vinko didn't know! I watched him watch the tape for the first time on some ABC sports special 11 years after it happened, and he clearly remembered the incident because of the flinch.

At the gala, Bogataj received the loudest ovation among a group that included some of the best-known athletes in the world. The moment became truly surreal for Bogataj when Muhammad Ali asked for his autograph. He later met Ali several more times and became friendly with the boxing legend.

As bad as it looked, the injuries could have been a lot more serious: Bogataj, then 22 years old and competing for Yugoslavia, suffered a concussion and a broken ankle in a terrifying tumble at the 1970 World Ski Flying Championships in Oberstdorf, West Germany.
