Bogdan Norčič (19 September 1953, Kranj – 4 April 2004, Cerklje na Gorenjskem) was a Yugoslavian ski jumper of Slovene ethnicity.

Career

He competed at the 1976 and 1980 Winter Olympics.[1] In March 1977 at Planica he jumped 181 m, but touched the snow during the landing, so the new world record was not recognised. Same jump was matched 6 years later by Pavel Ploc at Harrachov and over-jumped by Matti Nykänen at Oberstdorf 7 years after.
