68 Eddie The Eagle Edwards Ski Jump

Number 68 from the channel 4 show 100 Greatest Sporting Moments,In the 1988 Olympics, Edwards competed in, and finished last in, both the 70 m and 90 m events.
However, his lack of success endeared him to people around the globe. The worse he performed, the more popular he became. He subsequently became a media celebrity and appeared on talk shows around the world, appearing on The Tonight Show during the Games. The press nicknamed him "Mr. Magoo", and one Italian journalist called him a "ski dropper".

Haha the comment at the end, that's so true though, the guy who won gold that year is probably fuming

I LOVE his determination! Sure he didn't do the absolute best but he didn't have that much experience! Idk He's a huge inspiration for me :D

I believe there had been a film version of it.

I don’t appreciate the way that Eddie is put down by these ignorant commentators. He is a hero, because he beat the system. And it takes real guts for ANYONE to do that sport.
