I was at the 90m Ski Jumping, I turned 9 during the games.

Awesome times sitting there in the Ski Jump bowl with around 60,000 others. Where we were sitting, you could only see the jumpers after they were already in the air. It was hard to tell jumpers apart, except for Eddie the Eagle, he landed much shorter than everyone else.

Crowd was doing lots of waves, shouting "tastes great! Less Filling" back and forth from side to side, and of course "Eddie! Eddie!"
