Won the 1980 Outdoor World Championship at Split, the year 31 federations withdrew over water temperature.
Bogdan Vrhovac won the 1980 Outdoor World Championship in his home city of Split, the year 31 federations withdrew because the water measured 22.3 °C. Some called it an asterisk title.
Vrhovac's answer was consistency. He reached 11 Outdoor finals between 1974 and 1984 and won 10 medals, more than enough to show he belonged.
“They left because the water was cold. I stayed because it was mine.”Bogdan Vrhovac
