Summary
With the Winter Olympics upon us, we visit a true story about a British man who learned how to ski jump in order to make the British Olympic Team...but there was one problem, he wasn't very good. But that's not the point! Eddie Edwards had a simple goal: Make the Team; and playing by the rules that were set before him, he was able to do exactly that! When looking back at the 1988 Olympics people remember two things: The Jamaican bobsled team and Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards . Why? Both demonstrate the power of the human spirit and are stories that move us to remember the true joy of sports - competing!
