Australia waited forever for a Winter Olympic gold… and when it finally happened, it was the most “you can’t make this up” finish ever. 😭❄️🥇
Steven Bradbury’s 2002 Salt Lake City 1000m short track final is pure Olympic chaos: he’s trailing way behind, then the leaders from Canada, China, South Korea, and the USA crash out in the second-to-last turn… and Bradbury just glides past untouched to steal it by 0.28 seconds. Legendary.
