Not surprised snaremoppet. It happened 23 years before you were born. However, week after week after week after week after . . . well, you get the idea . . . Vinko Bogataj was the most viewed athlete in the world. Like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, people were asking, "who is that guy?" He is a legend in the States and for those who watch ABC sports and for the people in his homeland.

Now . . . you know!
