For the last few decades, few communities have produced more Olympians than Norwich, VT. In 1984, Jeff Hastings came within an eyelash of the first U.S. ski jumping Olympic medal since 1924. Today, Hastings continues to give back to the sport as a behind the scenes leader. His longtime commentary for NBC brought the sport to millions. Ticket to Fly host Peter Graves catches with Hastings on the eve of the 2021/22 Olympic season to look back at Sarajevo 1984 and to look ahead at the future of ski jumping in America.
