Eddie The Eagle back in business
– last updated Wed 4 Dec 2013
Eddie the Eagle Edwards is making a return to ski jumping.
It was more than 25 years ago that he represented Great Britain in the Winter Olympics in Calgary, and now he has been asked to go to Bavaria to take part in a New Years Day jump, as part of the international Four Hills Tournament.
Eddie is currently working on renovating a house near his home in Woodchester in Gloucestershire.
Despite turning 50 tomorrow, Eddie says all he needs is the go ahead from the sports governing body, the International Ski Federation, and he’s ready to start training.
