Jumper goes for broke in Canada

BRITAIN'S Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards is not the only ski jumper madcap enough to be apathetic towards broken bones.

Norwegian Bjorn Einar Romoren will compete at the Vancouver Olympics with a broken little finger after slamming his left hand into a wall in frustration over a disappointing jump.

The 28-year-old Romoren said the fracture will pose "no problem" for him.

He says he banged his hand into the wall because he was "deeply disappointed" by his performance at a weekend World Cup event in Germany.
