About Eddie the Eagle

Michael David Edwards, known as Eddie the Eagle or Eddie Edwards, is an English ski jumper and Olympian.

At the Calgary Winter Olympics, he finished last in both the normal hill and large hill events, but his place in the Games made him widely known. He later held the British ski jumping record from 1988 to 2001. Edwards also tried amateur speed skiing and stunt jumping, including a jump over six buses.
