Michael Edwards has a deep passion for ski jumping, and he hopes that enthusiasm will take him all the way to an Olympic win. As the first person from Great Britain to compete in this event, there's a lot of pressure on him, but he also has a can-do attitude, and he is determined not to let any obstacles stand in his way. He enlists the aid of Bronson Peary to be his coach, and the whole country starts to get excited about his Olympic bid. By the time he competes, he even has a new nickname: Eddie the Eagle.
