Let the Eagle soar... Our favourite ski-jumper (allright, the only one I can even name), Eddie the Eagle, talks a bit with the ceeb about what he's been up to lately.
  • I was just thinking about him last night. Thanks for posting this, Capt.!
  • I taught my youngest yesterday about Eddy and the real Olympics, when the amateurs did the sports , i alway tell him you can be the president of a country if you wish , kids can be in the olympics to , just pick a sport nobody does, the jamaican bobbers , prince monaco etc . we even saw an African swimmer that barely made it to the other side of the pool. Kiddy replied , but didnt make that the Eagle a loser? , I said no , we had fun , he is a celeb ,made money with it , and had the ballz. Ever been up a ramp that high? So sorry for the ellebarotation in this comments , it makes it look less spammy, and I always digged eddy.
  • as far as I am concerned, he's the most inspiring Olympic athlete of my lifetime.
  • Guys like Eddie are one of my favorite things about the Games. The rule that barred him from subsequent Games is stupid.
  • We Brits still love a trier. She's a hottie too!
  • It's not everyone who improves their standing by 557 places... Thanks for bring her to my our attention, Zaphod.
