Oh no! He fell down.

He had a great quote along the lines "I still worked my ass off for two years to get there." Hilarious story none the less.

Kind of shows you how stupid speed skating is in its current form. Practice all your life, lose because some idiot crashes into you.

"I'm Steven BRADBURY! This race is SLAAAAAAAMIN'!"

Don't forget though, this happened to him in final and grand final

A win is a win. Same type of thing happens in car races. Or in a Super Bowl when you're up 28-3 at the half.

That jackass at the end trying to trip him...

Ethan Bradberry?

It's Ethan!

Yea, this was epic. Immortalized with replays for eternity.

Rule #1: Don't fall down. He didn't fall down. Everyone else did. Tell me again why this man didn't deserve to win?

Poor wolverine had no chance

They all look like they've never skated before. Even Bradbury looks like he's just screaming in confusion.

Having watched short track speedskating live at the Olympics, I can say half the battle is not falling

Great pic. Caught Apollo Ohno at the beginning of a yawn.

The story is even better, he only made it to the finals because people fell if both of his prilminary races

OH-NO!

They should give the country with the most medals the title 'Kings of Winter' until the next winter games

We shot a commercial with him recently. Nice guy. Gave us his book.

I can imagine what the title must be.

But the other guy fell because he was talking a risk, pushing his speed to the max, and he lost control.

It’s so great he only won because everyone else stacked.

He also only qualified because everyone else stacked.

Sometimes the gamble pays off

IIRC, in the 80's Olympics there was a swimmer who showed down because he didn't want to be placed in the lower numbered lanes in qualifying
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
Well he didn't make it into the final heat, but his time in the consolation heat was faster than the gold medal winner

and for the US it was a great pain because Apollo was expected to win his last gold. And he was going to until that asshole dragged everyone

There was a great reaction from Apollo Ohno(the race favourite) afterwards. I'll put it in a comment below.

2/2 trained for. I got a silver medal, and I cannot complain about that."

"This was the best race of my life," Ohno said afterward. "Unfortunately, I fell in the last corner. But this is the sport I 1/2

My neighbour had a house party and a gold medal rower attended. I wasn’t invited, just heard about it. That’s all.

I lived next door to an Olympic Swimmer, before he was an Olympic swimmer. I liked your story Cheese.

An acquaintance posted on my FB about watching the Olympics with a former medal winner in a discipline she chose not to disclose.

I once beat the son of a Gold Medalist in a fight.

I think they're having an Olympic Jamboree or something. They seem to do it every few years.

Oh boy, I love jamborees!
