Even if you don't recognize the name Clyde Getty, if you watched the Olympics 4 years ago, you have probably seen his performance countless times. Attempting a triple flip, he came up a couple of degrees short and did a face plant that was replayed time and again. Watch for yourself and you'll remember:
One would assume that being 44 years old at the time, that would have been the end of Clyde's freestyle ski jumping. You'd be wrong. Just as he immediately jumped up after that hard landing and began blowing kisses, he set his sights on Vancouver and giving the triple jump a try at another Olympic games at age 48.
You can follow his blog as he competes to make the Argentina team. You can also become a fan on facebook to cheer him on to perfectly landing that triple flip this time around.
