Breaking records


I don't under how he broke a record, but didn't get any medals?

He broke his "country's records" as he was the first jumper. That doesn't mean he broke Olympic records though, so he didn't place high enough for a medal.

He was not the first UK ski jumper. He was the first one in a VERY long time. The old Brit ski jumping records were obviously very low and easy to break.
