Winter Olympics Code Breaker Amazing Winter Olympic Stories • In the 1988 Winter Olympics, Jamaica entered its first team in the bobsleigh, which was amazing as they had to practise without snow in Jamaica! It was such a great story that it inspired the 1993 film ‘Cool Runnings’. • From 1929 until 1988, Team GB had no ski jumpers; that was until Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards came along in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. He came last but was a British ski jump record holder, going on to become a TV personality and stunt skier. In 2016, the film ‘Eddie the Eagle’ was released telling his story. • Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are two of Team GB’s most famous Winter Olympic stars, having won the gold medal in 1984 with their ‘Bolero’ ice dance. They were world champions three times, British Champions seven times and both have MBEs. They now underpin the TV show ‘Dancing on Ice’.
