Originally an alpine skier, but because of the fierce competition in this event, in order to realize his Olympic dream, he switched to ski jumping and crossed the ocean to Germany for training in 1984. Eddie Edwards overcame the difficulties of funds and his own conditions, represented the United Kingdom in the World Championships in 1987, and qualified for the 1988 Winter Olympics. This British skier with high myopia, although he has no impressive record and never got a medal, is still an indelible stroke in the history of the Winter Olympics. He is loved by everyone and earned the nickname "Flying Eagle". , the "Flying Eagle Rules" in the International Olympic Code was also born because of him [4].

    Eddie fights for glory (the Olympics represent glory?), and purely wants to participate in the Olympics. As for what event, it doesn't seem to matter. The movie doesn't explain how much he likes alpine skiing, but because no one participates, he has a better chance of winning the Olympics. 90 meters is simply a desperate fight, for glory? To get more applause? He fought to the death, it was a bit of a show, and it did not represent sportsmanship. Wolverine is super handsome! The acting of the ace secret agent!

    A person who learns martial arts does not lie in his talent, but in whether he has a legendary master who retires to the world.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Eddie Edwards: I just thought we could have a little chat about me being an Olympic ski-jumper.

    Bronson Peary: You've more chance of being a ballerina than a jumper.

    Eddie Edwards: Good one. I was juts after a few tips, really.

    Bronson Peary: Give up, there's one for free.

  • Bronson Peary: [showing Eddie the models of the different ramps] I felll in love with this sport, man. It started with this little baby. This 15 metre little vixen. You manage to land that because it's meant to hook you into the sport, right, so otherwise you wouldn't even bother trying. The 40 meter, when you stack you get bruised, which I don't have to explain to *you*.

    Eddie Edwards: [chuckles] Sorry.

    Bronson Peary: The 70 metre, you break bones and you're lucky if you can walk again. The 90 metre. The goddess. Let's just say in the Wild West we'd be measuring you for your coffin before you even reach the stairs. Never forget that, kid.
