He was a British 'hero' at the 88 Winter Olympics.

There is. ~Sort of (I just read the wiki article on him)
'Best in Britain
Despite not being among the best ski jumpers in the world, at the time of his Olympic entry, Edwards was the best ski jumper in the United Kingdom. He set a British record of 73.5m in one of his Calgary jumps in 1988.'
