It was late in the evening when an unusual hero got off the plane and walked into the airport in Calgary, Canada. A short man with glasses, he didn’t look like a sports star.

Eddie Edwards from Britain was in Calgary for the ski jump competitions at the Winter Olympics. He didn’t expect to win. He was just glad to be there.

Accidents always happened to Eddie. While he was walking through customs his clothes fell out of his bag. He got a big surprise when he saw that a lot of people were waiting for him. His fans were holding up a message for him: “Welcome to Eddie the Eagle Edwards”.

Wow, that’s brilliant, he thought. He didn’t know he had a fan club in Canada. He was still looking at the fans when he walked into a door.

It was now very late in the evening but he didn’t know how to get to the Olympic village.

At last he found someone from the British Olympic ski team who could tell him. It was 2 am when he finally arrived at the village.

The next morning Eddie Edwards couldn’t practise because he was sorting out problems with his equipment. He was even an hour late for his press conference.

“You can’t come in here,” said a man on the door. “There’s a press conference for Eddie Edwards.”

“But I am Eddie Edwards.”

“You? No, never. You’re not an athlete.”

When Eddie was finally in the room there were questions from 130 reporters.

“Do you wear your glasses when you jump, Eddie?”

“Yes. They mist up when I put my goggles over them. I just hope they’ll be clear again before I get to the bottom.”

What problem did Eddie have with his goggles?
