The Story of the Most Surprising Gold Medal: Steven Bradbury | Olympics on the Record

YEY, WHY NOT LOL

Most deserved undeserved golden medal ever.

И всё же, я не понимаю в чём здесь фантастика. Где просто как надо сошлись трезвая оценка своих возможностей, аккуратное следование плану без колебаний вверх-вниз и излишний азарт соперников. Нет здесь фантастики, никакой.

I do the same thing in Mario Kart. The last always gets the best items. 🍄🍄🍄 He deserved the win like all other gold medalists.

LEGEND !!!

правильно говорят всё-таки, тише едешь - дальше будешь. ;-)

I dont think we will ever see this again. Making the Semi final because of a disqualification and the exact same thing happening in the semi final (where everyone fell down for him to qualify) and then for it to happen in the final to win it, surely he had divine intervention that day from someone up above. I dont really believe in that sort of stuff, but, that just seems impossible without it.

I love how the other skaters tried to throw themselves over the line for Silver and bronze 😆

I wish he never opened his mouth after this. He was Australia's champion.
I have since heard him interviewed and he comes across as a total narcissist.
Shame that.

look at “le olimpiadi di Steven Bradbury “

He won fair and square

The gods were like....hold my beer!

Just saw that Stephen is to receive a bravery award for rescuing swimmers that were in trouble. He was teaching his son to surf when he saw the people in trouble. He sent his son to get the lifesavers but in the meantime managed to rescue one and had the other three in a position for the lifesavers to take them to shore.

Ahh! It seems kinda similar to distancing for knife throwing!😀👍

"There comes a time when first will be last, and last will be first."

He had a strategy and executed it to perfection 👌

Bloody legend turned a waste of ice into a way to show us what hard work, passion and an opportunity can do.

omg other countries commentators are so bad Australia's commentators have so much more energy

Plot twist of the century 😂

YEAHHHH AUSTRALIA!

"Pulling a Bradbury" is still in the Australian lexicon today. Most Aussies laughed when he won, and will still laugh today if you remind them. Guy's a legend. I'll buy him a beer anytime.

The other guy used his hand to side swept the Korean who tried to avoid but stumbled on the others causing a Domino Effect collision. That move should have been called for.

I remember watching it live and couldn't quite take in what had just happened, sometimes in life luck plays a huge part in the outcome and that's what happened with Stephen Bradbury

This is so satisfying

He didn’t exactly win. More like he didn’t lose.

As a non-Australian, I only know of two Australian Olympic medalists. One of them is Steven Bradbury. The other one is Peter Norman.

It’s says on his Wikipedia page he also saved four teenage girls from drowning while surfing on the Sunshine Coast ,I wonder if the South Korean Chinese Canadian and the American from Utah can even surf.

It is "the lucky country" after all

The best example of "Opportunity meets preparation"

He was so happy doing a Bradbury he went home and had an Ronny Coote.

Lol they don't show the medal count of the Netherlands.....

I did this in Parcheesi once.

When you love and respect a sport eventually the sport loves you back.

I will never forget watching this moment live…

I watched this -
This was Pure Gold 🥇
I was laughing with joy and was very very happy for Steve ⛸️💛

Who is the narrator of the video?

This is one of my absolute favorite Olympic stories

Expected a "participation" ribbon... brought home with a glorious Gold.

Love it.

Bloody champion!!!!

I saw they lose, so he won.

I think it's a fair win, he no less than them but surely greater.

Надо бороться всегда до конца

Skill. And strategy

To be honest he should give the credit of this magical moment to that Chinese skater ... he was the main culprit of this incident 🤣 😂 😆

Movie Material 📖

Wow.. what a story ⭐

brilliant strategy.

He did the most impressive thing of his life not on those olympics. In August 2022 he singlehandedly saved three teenagers from drowning.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." -Napoleon Bonaparte

Bradbury played smart. He deserved the medal

Maybe the other guys would win 99 out of 100 races. But this is the 1
