Eddie Edwards in 1988: Calgary Olympics

Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards

Find out if Geoff, James and Jon soared to new heights in attempting to grab an interview with the legendary Olympic ski-jumper.

Barry from Abington had asked the boys from Monday Night Sport to try and get an interview with the ski jumping phenomenon (?) from the 1988 Winter Olympics.

Having found the former ski-jumper a lot easier to get in touch with than many of the previous MNS Guest Test guests, on the phone was Eddie Edwards:

Eddie shot to fame when he became Great Britain's first ever professional ski-jumper, competing in the World Championships in Oberstdorf in 1987, followed by the Winter Olympics in Calgary in 1988. He is also the British National Ski-jumping record holder.
