Slovenian skiier Vinko Bogataj in the classic Wide World of Sports intro.

Some people may not know that the Slovenian skiier Vinko Bogataj was something of a cult symbol in the United States for a long time. In the introduction to the immensely popular show ABC’s Wide World of Sports, they always showed a clip of him crashing during a competition in 1970. His crash was synchronized with the words "… the agony of defeat!" If you’d like to see it, there’s a video of the show’s famous intro here. [2.2 MB]

There’s also some interesting background on his story over at Ask Yahoo, where someone recently asked: "Who’s the ‘agony of defeat’ guy from ‘The Wide World of Sports’"?
