	Steven Bradbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steven Bradbury (born October 14, 1973 in Camden, Sydney) is a former Australian speed skater.
		Bradbury's strategy of remaining behind the leading competitors in the final was a deliberate ploy borne of his experience in the semi final race, a strategy discussed with coach Ann Zhang and British skater Nicky Gooch.
		Bradbury was also the favourite going into the 1000m short track speed skating event at the 1994 Winter Olympics at Lillehammer, Norway, at which he won a bronze medal as part of an Australian four-man short track relay team.

		Steven Bradbury: My father was a speed skater and I was introduced at a young age.
		Steven Bradbury, an honest competitor who had previously won a bronze as part of a relay team but well off the pace of the medal favourites, cruised off the pace in his semifinal only to see his competitors crash into each other, allowing him through to the final.
		Bradbury was again well off the pace, but lightning struck again and all four other competitors crashed out in the final, leaving a jubilant Bradbury to take the most unlikely of gold medals, Australia's first in a Olympic Winter Games event.

	Sporting Life - Winter Olympics
		Australian Steven Bradbury became one of the luckiest gold medallists in Olympic history on Saturday after an extraordinary series of events in the final rounds of the men's 1,000 metres short track speed skating at the Delta Centre.
		Bradbury was first over the line in the final because his four rivals, who were all ahead of him, crashed out on the final bend.
		What made Bradbury's win all the more remarkable was that he had only got through his quarter-final heat because he was knocked over and the referee ruled he had been impeded and was allowed to progress as is normal under short track rules.
