Subdeacon Joe Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Old....I'm old. I was watching the clip of a guy going down a long, snowy hill and wiping out. I thought, in a stilted stadium announcer's voice: 9.2 8.6 9.3 9.3 and 4.6 from the East German judge. I'm old. 7 Quote

They constantly changed the "thrill of victory" segment, but there he was every week. Everyone over the age of 50 has seen that "...and the agony of defeat..." clip, many times yet few know his name. He is Vinko Bogataj from Slovenia. He (supposedly) didn't know he was infamous until WWoS contacted him for an anniversary show. Vinko Bogataj - Wikipedia 1 Quote

A nurse that checked me in at the VA when we move up here looked at my chart a said "Hmmm> You were born in "19--"! I agreed and she smiled and said "You do know that they don't make parts for that model anymore?" I fell in love then and there! 2 Quote
