Ischgl in Austria: An impressive sculpture.
Two British sculptors use 100 tons of snow to create an ice tribute to Eddie “to build The Eagle”.
Eddie’s real name is Michael Edwards and he is a former British ski jumper.
He was the first ski jumper to represent Great Britain at the Winter Olympics.
With this mass of snow, the sculptors recreate the ski jump in Calgary from 1988.
Good morning from a crispy cold mountain peak in Austria near Ischgl. We are in the last minutes to get this sculpture ready. Four and a half hours ahead of us. Every second counts.
Her artistic creation is part of a competition in Ischgl.
This shows the Olympic rings, the flames and Eddie in the middle of the ski jump.
Eddie looks absolutely fantastic this morning. He looks at this fantastic view.
Justin Scott and Martin Sharp spend five whole days giving shape to their sculpture.
At minus 20 degrees and blowing snow, the two sculptors feel as if they were working in the freezer.
Because of the freezing temperatures, they take a break every 90 minutes.
With her Eddie “The Eagle“ work of art, the two Britons take fourth place.
Every year, Scott and Sharp take a sculpture vacation together to avoid the winter blues.
It is not yet clear where the next vacation will take her.
