Career

Pograjc made his international debut in FIS junior competitions as a 13-year-old in his native Kranj . After two 61st places, he was only used internationally the following year and immediately reached fifth place at the FIS race in Predazzo . After two podium places in Ljubno in the FIS Cup and further top 10 placements in FIS races, he made his debut in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup in January 2007 at the age of 15 . With a 43rd place in Planica , however, he remained without a point. In the summer of 2007 and at the beginning of the 2007/08 season he ended up in the FIS Cup and in FIS races only rarely among the top 20. In January 2008 he was given the opportunity to start again in the Continental Cup. In Kranj, however, he could not convince in both competitions and only landed 58th and 59th. Also in March in Vikersund he did not win any points.

For the 2008/09 season he won his first points in the Continental Cup with the 24th place in jumping in Rovaniemi . After a few jumps in the Alpine Ski Jumping Cup and the FIS Cup , Pograjc jumped to 31st place at the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in 2009 on the Štrbské Pleso hills and reached fifth place with the team. After the Junior World Championships he was no longer used in the Continental Cup and found himself in junior competitions and the FIS Cup. Despite this, he finished the season in the Continental Cup in 145th place with seven points. At the Slovenian Ski Jumping Championships in Kranj in 2009 he won the silver medal in the team competition together with Primož Roglič , Miran Zupančič and Dejan Judež . On July 4th, 2009 Pograjc just missed a place in the top ten with 11th place in the Continental Cup in Kranj. After changing results, he was initially relegated to the Alpine Cup, but was able to win the second competition in Oberstdorf . Despite some good placements, he did not start again in the Continental Cup in Kranj until July 2010. At the Slovenian Championships 2010 in Kranj he won silver again together with Rok Mandl , Matic Kramaršič and Jernej Damjan . After he was again unsuccessful in the Continental Cup, he found himself again in the Alpine Cup in October 2010.

At the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships 2011 in Otepää , he reached fifth place in team jumping together with Rok Justin , Marjan Jelenko and Nejc Dežman . In the individual, he landed on 49th place. At the Slovenian Championships 2011 in Kranj, he won silver with the team. In July 2011, in his first Continental Cup competition in Courchevel, he immediately won points by finishing 30th. He also won points in Engelberg . In Titisee-Neustadt on the Hochfirstschanze he just missed the podium with fourth place. After rather mixed results, he was able to increase his performance again at the end of the season and reached eighth place in Kuopio . He finished the 2011/12 season in 42nd place overall. At the Slovenian Championships in 2012 he won silver in the first team competition with Matic Kramaršič , Žiga Mandl and Tim Babnik and the bronze medal in the second competition with Mandl, Kramaršič and Jernej Damjan. On March 15, 2012, he got the chance to start ski flying as part of the Ski Jumping World Cup in Planica , but missed the leap into the competition with 34th place in the qualification.

After he was disqualified in Stams in the summer of 2012 and missed 34th place in Kranj, he only started again in the Continental Cup in September. In the second competition in Lillehammer he reached 17th place and was placed among the top twenty. A short time later in Hinzenbach as part of the Ski Jumping Grand Prix , he won four points with 27th place and was 78th place. In December 2012 he immediately reached 10th place in his first Continental Cup competition of the 2012/13 season in Almaty . He also regularly won points in the other jumping competitions before taking sixth place on January 12, 2013 in Sapporo .

At the Slovenian Championships in Kranj in 2013 he won the bronze medal in the team competition together with Rožle Žagar , Žiga Mandl and Matic Kramaršič . In the singles he was fifth. Shortly afterwards he successfully jumped all three competitions in Iron Mountain . After a fourth place in the first and a tenth place in the second competition, he achieved his first Continental Cup podium of his career with second place in the third competition. A week later he was able to win a Continental Cup competition for the first time in Brotterode .
