At the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada, a British ski jumper by the name of Eddie Edwards captivated the entire world with his competitive spirit and zest for life. Not because he was an exceptional athlete with a chance to compete for a Gold Medal, there was no chance of that, but more because his never-say-die, can-do attitude embodied the spirit of Olympics perfectly. Much like the Jamaican bobsled team competing in Calgary at the same time, there was something about Edwards, a purity to his attempts to soar into that moonlit Canadian sky, and as such anyone watching him couldn’t help but smile.
