Ski jumping at the 1988 Winter Olympics consisted of three events held from 14 February to 24 February, taking place at Canada Olympic Park.[1] The Calgary Games featured the addition of a new event, the first program change since 1964, with the debut of the team event.[2] Britain's Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards achieved celebrity by finishing last in both individual events, with less than half the points of the second-last competitor.[3]
