Danilo Pudgar (born May 3, 1952 in Črna na Koroškem ) is a former Yugoslav ski jumper .

Career

Pudgar began his international career with the start of the Four Hills Tournament 1971/72 . After he achieved only mixed results in midfield in Innsbruck , Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Oberstdorf , he landed on the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen in 14th place and thus achieved the best individual result of his career. In the overall ranking, he also achieved his best placement with 34th place.

At the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo , Pudgar landed on the normal hill in 27th place. He was able to improve significantly from the large hill and reached eighth place. A little later, Pudgar was named Slovenian Sportsman of the Year .

For the Four Hills Tournament 1972/73 Pudgar competed again in all jumping competitions but could not build on the success of the previous season and reached 49th place overall. On his last two tours in 1973/74 and 1974/75 he tried to improve again. However, he did not succeed, so that he ended his active ski jumping career in 1975.

Pudgar's older brother Drago was also internationally active as a ski jumper.
