The thrill of victory … and the agony of defeat.” While several clips were used to illustrate “the thrill of victory,” beginning in 1970 one clip was always played over “the agony of defeat”: the sliding, hat-dislodging crash of ski-jumper Vinko Bogataj. What present-day country, which at that time was part of Yugoslavia, is Bogataj from?

The Philippines had a breakout showing in gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The women’s side saw three NCAA gymnasts (LSU’s Aleah Finnegan, UCLA’s Emma Malabuyo, Stanford’s Levi Jung-Ruivivar) represent the country. However, the big winner was this man, who became the Philippines’ first multi-Olympic gold medal winner after taking the floor exercise and vault titles. In addition to his gold medals, he won numerous gifts from the country and local businesses, including cash, real estate, and food.
