The film follows a kid named Eddie who, influenced by a book, falls in love with ski jumping at the Olympics. After several failures, he finally participated in the Olympic ski jumping event. Although he did not get a place, he was called "Eagle Eddie". He was the first person to ski jump in the UK. Ski jumping is to slide down a slope with a height of 15 meters, 40 meters, 70 meters or 90 meters. The competition generally uses a 70 or 90-meter platform. Sliding down from such a high place, I shudder to think about it, the danger is very high. Eddie has also seen others fall seriously, and he himself fell badly in training, but he still perseveres. I admire his perseverance. Likewise, his never-give-up spirit moved a snowplow in training camp—he was actually a world-class athlete who was fired for moral issues. The staff member decides to help him fulfill his wish, and they begin their diabolical training. The most memorable sentence of this film is what Coubertin said at the end of the film: "The Olympic Games are not about winning medals, but participating." Eddie undoubtedly interprets this sentence very well. . Participation is the most important thing. This "Flying Eagle" and his spirit will always be in my heart.
