THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY-FEBRUARY 12

1998 Winter Olympics

'I'm not deluded. I know there are plenty of other athletes ore deserving  than me, so if my antics took away from their accomplishments, forgive me....As someone wise said,...I love ski jumping very nearly as much as I love proving people wrong, which is why I've decided to jump the 90m. to compete in the Olympics doesn't mean anything if you sell yourself short. I did not come to the Olympics as a novelty act and I will not be going home as one."

- Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards
