As the Winter Olympics opening ceremony gets underway, we sit down with one of Britain’s most iconic Olympians: Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards.
Eddie became a global sensation at the 1988 Winter Olympics after representing Great Britain in ski jumping, despite finishing last and defying every expectation. In this extended interview, Eddie reflects on his unlikely Olympic journey, the pressure of competing on the world stage, being laughed at, and why failure, resilience and joy still matter in modern sport.
From Olympic fame to becoming a symbol of perseverance, Eddie the Eagle’s story remains one of the most remarkable in Winter Olympics history. With Paul Coyte for GB News Originals.
