The first skier to represent THE UK in ski jumping on the Olympics; he also broke the length record. He was created in the town of Cheltenham, Britain, but transferred to Lake Placid to be able to go after more intense schooling therefore he could be eligible for the Olympics. He was in charge of the ‘Eddie the Eagle Guideline,’ which mandates that Olympic hopefuls must compete in worldwide occasions and finish in the very best thirty percent or the very best 50 competition. He wedded Samantha Morton in 2003. In 2016, a film about him entitled Eddie the Eagle premiered, with Taron Egerton portraying him.
