There is an exciting climax to the ski
jumping competition at this year's Winter Olympics. The world champion for
the past 12 years has been the American ski jumper Watt A. Landing.
This year's event has been turned into a real battle between Watt and a British
challenger, Eddie D Ostrich. Eddie burst onto the scene some years ago with
his unsuccessful attempts to win a medal. However, following his £10
million Lottery win, he spent a fortune on training, top coaches and even
built his own ski jump in the Scottish Highlands. Over the years he has clawed
his way up the world rankings and now stands on the brink of the gold medal.
All Eddie needs to do is to equal yesterday's jump to win the Olympic Gold
and end Watt A Landing's domination of the sport. What could possibly go wrong?
