Steven Bradbury Biography

Of all Australia’s victories in the Olympic Games, undoubtedly the most bizarre was that of Steven Bradbury in the 1000m short-track speed skating final at the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Games. Bradbury, whose gold medal was the first ever won by an Australian at the Winter Olympics, was dubbed “the Accidental Hero” after his four rivals all collided, tumbled and sprawled around the ice, leaving him to skate alone past the finish line. This sensational scene marked the end of a career which had embraced four Olympics, an earlier bronze medal, much sacrifice, and some horrific injuries. At 17, Bradbury was a member of the squad that won the world short-track relay championship in 1991, subsequently selected for the Olympics in Albertville in 1992, they were eliminated in the semi-finals after two of them fell. Two years later, in Lillehammer, Bradbury, Richard Nizielski, Andrew Murtha and Kieran Hansen won Australia’s first winter medal ever: a bronze in the 5000m relay.

A year later, Bradbury was involved in the first of two career-threatening accidents. In a crash in Montreal a rival’s skates sliced through his right thigh, requiring 111 stitches and 18 months’ recovery time. In 2000, in Sydney, he crashed into a barrier during training and broke his neck; he was told he would never skate again. In the Salt Lake City 1000m final, he adopted wait-and-see tactics, figuring that some kind of accident was likely, and the plan paid off. After winning his gold medal, Bradbury struggled with conflicting emotions. He finally, sensibly, came to see it as a reward for 12 long years of toil.

  • Never Give Up!

    Bradbury made history when he won Australia and the Southern Hemisphere’s first Winter Olympic Gold Medal. Bradbury gained fans the world over for the honesty and humility he showed after the win. He saw the victory as reward not for one race, but for 12 years of hard training that included more than his share of misfortune. A race accident in 1994 led him to being impaled on a rivals skate, creating a cut in his leg so extensive he lost four liters of blood and required 111 stitches; he was extremely lucky to survive. A training mishap in the year 2000 broke his neck. After six weeks in a halo brace, Bradbury again fought his way back, and 18 months later that same neck was supporting an Olympic Gold Medal!
