On your blog, list 2 different ways in which you, your family or friends could raise money to support the athlete

As a member of the group you must choose one of the following people to be in the opening ceremony: Richie McCaw Kane Williamson , or Shaun Johnson .

They are sometimes called ‘underdogs.’ One of the most famous ‘underdogs’ in Olympic history was a man named Michael Edwards. He was a ski jumper from England who competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada. Although he came last in the event, he never gave up. Recently, a movie has been made about his life. It is called “Eddie the Eagle.”  For this activity, watch the trailer for Eddie the Eagle and then post a summary of the movie on your blog. What is the movie about?
