The Most Unexpected Gold Medal In History - Steven Bradbury | Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics

Whos here after the cycling final in paris 2024

Intelligent strategy.

And he trained in Brisbane ! What are the odds ? To win the lottery you need to pay the price of the ticket. The price of the ticket was, in Steven Bradbury's case, quite high. See below. By the way, his autobiography is an interesting read, up there with Agassi's 'Open'.

amazing 🤩

Seems like a pretty stupid setup in terms of the track size and length. It’s surprising this doesn’t happen all the time.

I am back here after seeing 'RayGun'. I think she was trying to do the same thing in breakdancing... well, she broke it! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Bradbury and Raygun. Two Inspirational athletes from Australia

yellow was like if im going down im taking all of u with me!

It’s a joke that this isn’t available in Australia

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Ruined a great clip with stupid music.

Sometimes it's not just skill, sometimes it's strategy. It was the same strategy that got him in into the final in the first place.

This is the strategy Raygun went for. Hope all the other competitors disqualify themselves and then win a medal as last person standing.

He truly is the greatest athlete of his generation. 100% pure Aussie LEGEND.

Australia's finest hour

...and here's to Apolo Anton Ohno for getting up and crossing the finish line for a Silver.

The Korean skater eliminated all the Bradbury opponents (including himself) 😅😆

Still better than Raygun

The chosen one 😆

Those who don't know what he underwent before winning: "Phooey! Luckiest b*start ever..."
Those who know: "Well deserved. An heartwarming moment of awesome."

This is how he made the finals to begin with. There was a crash in that race as well and he was behind the pack

I was a speedskater as a youth and I would have recognized that my medal had no value, was unearned and a complete fluke. All the other skaters performed better and I wouldn't have accepted the medal.

Sometimes the universe just throws you a bone.

Its what Raygun wishes she could have been

It was his day, simple as that...

Dang, I remember when this went down… like watching a train derail 😅 and then Bradbury just sailed through unscathed and took home the gold! Sometimes it pays to be wary.

thats my goat

why the music ? ... cant even hear the crowd or the commentators' happiness ..

Brilliant, made in Hollywood ending

What an absolute legend

Australian proverb. ""Those not eaten live"".

Lmaooo😂

lesgooooooooo

All OZ hail China for playing dirty.

To finish first, first you have to finish.

lol a literal slow and steady wins the race moment.

The second place was like I believe I can fly

😅

He actually nearly falls too 😅

This was the picture I saw Tama, this was it.. v groovy! 🙂

Props to the two guys who finished 2nd and 3rd, had game brain on 😄😄👍👍

I look at this and I wonder... would the sport be better served by either having the participants race one at a time and then record their scores, or perhaps they need a bigger track? Constantly forcing them to squish back into a line as they go around a corner every 5 seconds seems like it would lead to problems.

❤❤❤Bradbury❤❤❤
