Stephen Bradbury competed as a short-track speed skater for Australia, attending four Olympiads.
He won the 1,000 m event at the 2002 Winter Olympics [Salt Lake] after all of his opponents were involved in a last-corner pile-up. He was the first athlete from Australia and also the Southern Hemisphere to win a Winter Olympic gold medal, and he was also part of the short track relay team that won Australia's first Winter Olympic medal, a bronze in 1994 [at Lillehammer].
