Lotrič competed in the ski jumping world cup from 1980 to 1991 . He competed in his first World Cup competition on March 8, 1980 in Lahti . He was able to win his first World Cup point with 15th place. In the following season 1980/81 he jumped 7th place in the ski flying in Ironwood for the first time among the top ten. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 1982 Lotrič jumped to 34th place on the normal and 46th place on the large hill. In the following seasons Lotrič could only rarely jump into the points.
