Matti Nykanen, the absolute hero of the 1984 Olympics, was one of the greatest athletes in Ski Jumping.
He said - "Life is life. It's always 50/60%"
He was never sober and always won.

Can you give a synopsis of his life? Did he die of an alcohol related death?

He is the greatest ski jumper of all time, then he really messed up his life by being a drunkard, spent all his money on stupidity then married some older ugly heiress, who was a drunkard too and they fought and he stabbed her.
He was very simple-minded and impulsive, but I think this helps in ski jumping as thinkers don’t take the risks needed to win.
