Robert Kranjec (born 16 July 1981) is a Slovenian former ski jumper.
Career
Kranjec won a bronze medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in the team large hill event. He won his first World Cup event at Kuusamo, Finland in 2005. In the following years, he could not reach any top results except for ski flying competitions. In 2010 he celebrated his second World Cup victory at Tauplitz, Austria. After two more successful ski flying competitions at Tauplitz and Oberstdorf, in which he achieved second place each time, he won the ski flying World Cup in the 2009–10 season.
In 2012, he won the 2012 FIS Ski Flying World Championships and thus became Slovenia's third World Champion in ski jumping and the first in ski flying. He also set a new national record.{{cite web |author1=T.
