You don’t have to be 100% Best at what you do.
But if you give it 100% effort, desire and passion it pays for itself in the long run.
Steven Bradbury was shy about taking the gold at the ceremony but in the end he did deserved his reward for the time he committed himself to a dream.
Steven Bradbury is “A Remarkable Achiever” at The highest level of anyone else that has accomplished well in any sport.

I have been working for the Vancouver Olympics for over a year now. On Sunday I watched Canada win the gold medal and the chaos that the city became (like nothing I have ever seen in my life).
As I was heading into the closing ceremony I bumped into Bradbury. He was very nice and acted like he was excited to see us and get a photo. I was so happy that I had an Aussie flag with me. His parents were with him and they took photos of us as well.

A real olympic fairytale. Its remarkable that a lot of such amazing storys always happen at the olympic games. It was a moment I´ll never forget……it shows that u should never give up especially if u do something u love – even if your chances seems to be very low.
Thx to God and Steven Bradbury for this miracle..he really deserved it

nope he was taking 4th position when the fall happened, the japanese is at the 2nd position in semi final. You probaly got confused cuz their jerseys are almost the same.

Steve Bradbury would gut you like a fish

he was taking 2nd position when the fall happened.
its highly likely he would have finished 2nd in the semi even if there wasnt a fall
The final was simply epic

@ Jonz87
stop putting the gold medal on a fucking pedestal – however you see it, Bradbury completed 1000m faster than anyone else on the track, which is what a gold medal is awarded for. If the top seeded competitor took out every gold medal then I for one would be bored shitless.

Woot! Lydia Lassila just won our 5th!!

It’s a great story. He was almost killed twice before those Olympics, yet he still had the true Aussie spirit, heart and desire to compete for his country, and he’s now an Olympic Gold Medallist. Absolute legend.

he is not a legand in the semi most people fell he is not good kk that my story

I’ve seen him speak and he’s not only humble but inspiring,he didn’t get famous at all,he got noticed and he used that notability really well. Could you imagine if ohno was the one who came through first,nothing would have came out of it,champion wins,that’s it .Instead this under-dog has told kids everywhere,GO FOR IT,because you never know……

Not just incredible, but more unbelieveable!

great win epic tactics and awesome win aint no accident no way the front guys went to fast and agressive and the cool calm collected aussie snatched it friggin gold
was 1 of the all time epic wins in any sport young dudes would call it owned or pawnage perhaps

Apollo Anton Ohno has always been a good sport about that sort of thing…what I mean is whenever people ask him about whether he got “bumped out” or “cheated” out of a medal situation like that, he always says the same thing: “that’s short track”
everyone gets robbed sometime or other

At 1:51 it’s good to see that Ohno is smiling when Bradbury steps onto the dais.

What an incredible story

You should never give up no matter how far behind you are. There is always a chance of winning.
Steven Bradbury and Tanja Frieden are classic examples.

what a legend!
March 14th, 2010 at 6:54 am
Bloody AWESOME! Good on you mate! <3

Epic. Great way to break our duck of golds – eight years later and we have four of them (with more to come)!

“I’m not taking it for the 90 seconds of that race, I’m gonna take it for the 12 years in the lead up to that 90 seconds”
Man, what a story….Brilliant! There’s no doubt he is Australian!

He was first over the line, period. He had the right strategy and it paid off. Edmond Hilary set his alarm clock and that did the job. But agree would have been better if he was eating that meat pie.

very inspiring, it sure shows how skill + persistence can come together
