- GoofsAt the 1988 Calgary Olympics, ski jumpers have their skis "v-style" (tips spread apart) while in the air. V-style ski jumping came to competition in the 1990s. At the Calgary Olympics, ski jumpers kept their skis parallel in the air.

Featured review
It was a pretty good movie, like most of the movies that have ties to reality. My biography was not consistent. Fine, it was fun. If it were not for the truth, it would definitely be the last scene kissing scene. But there was no love in the movie. This really went up for me. Apart from these, the filmin music and the actors were beautiful. These plus points also prevented me from paying attention to the clichés.
He's also a really good player at Taron.
It was really nice Eddie was slowly realizing his dreams. In the last part of the scenes I learned how this feeling is now. It was a really good movie.
