Who was the first person to represent his country in the Winter Olympics in 1988, coming last in his event, a hero to some, an embarrassment to others?

Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards
QUOTE (netbizoppsteam @ Aug 8 2008, 10:17 AM) Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards Well done, netbizoppsteam, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards is the correct answer. His event was the Ski Jump. Please send me your LR No. Next question. This is a long distance endurance event, held every two years, in which participants are chosen by lottery as it is always over subscribed. What`s the event called?
Iron Butt Rally?
QUOTE (Peddeee @ Aug 8 2008, 10:33 AM) Iron Butt Rally? Correct, Peddeee, please let me have your LR No. QUOTE The Iron Butt Rally is held in the United States every two years. Other countries have been considered, but only Australia offers the wide-open spaces without international borders suitable for such a marathon. The Iron Butt first ran in 1984. In 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 the rally started from Montgomeryville Cycle Center near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Iron Butt was not held again until 1991 when it came under the management of the Iron Butt Association. While the basic format of the original rally remained, two important things have changed; to insure the quality of the event, the rally is run every other year and the starting and ending points are rotated to different locations within the United States. Next question, which might require some additional clues. Who is the famous baseball player I`m thinking of?
Michael Jordan?
My LR is: U4600177

If he's not the one, the only one who did was greg chappel who was an australian too.. aussies are very aggressive players and that's why they are world champions.. :-) QUOTE (amrutrk @ Aug 8 2008, 11:10 AM) can I get one more chance for this one then?

Next clue (anyone can now guess, once).
This cricketer is a quick (pace) bowler.
Terry Alderman
finally got it.. Guess I knew I miessed someone, but then just I did'nt want to take a chance before the next clue.. I'm just a cricket fan..
guessing if he could be Del Ballard Jr.
QUOTE (amrutrk @ Aug 8 2008, 01:45 PM) Terry Alderman finally got it.. Guess I knew I miessed someone, but then just I did'nt want to take a chance before the next clue.. I'm just a cricket fan.. amrutrk, you finally got it. Yes, the answer is Terry Alderman. About that incident, in which Alderman came off worse than the streaker.. QUOTE Terry Alderman was a bowler from Western Australia whose ability to swing the ball mesmerised batsmen the world over. In the summer of 1982/83 with Australia locked in a tense battle for the Ashes, Alderman took it upon himself to tackle an English streaker on the hard WACA ground in Perth. Unfortunately for Alderman his shoulder wasn't quite up to the task and the dislocation ruled him out of the game for some time. Another $1 for you. Here`s the final question for this contest. This game is played on a pitch which is larger than a rugby pitch. Each team consists of 15 players, and the ball they play with is round like a soccer ball, but heavier. What game is it?
Softball ?
No, not Softball.
Gaelic football
That may be right!!
