Let me try to be the first to congratulate Steve Bradbury for skating a brilliant race and winning Australia's first Winter Olympic Gold Medal!
Which is surprising because the population of Australia probably wouldn't know what snow was if it slapped them up the side of the head. :)

I think that is called winning by default, skating a brilliant race or sure he was dead last missed a mix up and won the gold *hehe* by default. get real.
Hey Buff's, it wasn't Bradbury's fault the four other guys couldn't skate and crashed. Hanging back and letting the leaders fall all over them selves like the WTBTS writing department coming up with 'new dogma', was brilliant strategy!
Steve’s was a classic ‘tortoise verses the hare’ race to win Australia's first winter olympic gold, ever.
Flip
is this true?
As an Aussie I havent heard anything about it yet.
Doesnt sound like the kind of victory anyone would really want.
I also heard they reversed the decision on the Canadian sketers giving them their gold. Is that true?

refiner,
I also heard they reversed the decision on the Canadian sketers giving them their gold. Is that true?Yes, the Canadians got their gold, but so do the Russians! I guess the French judge has been suspended.

Prehaps I am wrong,but I thoght there was snow in the snowy mountains in winter,could any Aussies correct me please.
In Winter there is snow cover down to around 3000 feet in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.
There are approx 8 major mountain areas in Vic Nsw, that get snow cover 3/4 months of the year.
Lots of skiing.
I watched, for the first time yesterday, the Canadians performance on replay..they wuz robbed
The guy was so far back, the American Apolo Anton(?) had time to fall down, throw two guys off of him, get up and still almost win.
ONE...
bigboi
yeah.
but he didnt.
Let the ozzies have their moment of sunshine. We have a bit of a complex down here. Feel isolated, feel a bit second class. Winning gold and having Russell Crowe about to win back to back oscars is good for our psyche.
Actually this looked like brilliant strategy. Stay at the back /cos you know that in a race with yanks they'll always want to crash through!
Steven has been in the top 10 in the world's speed skaters for the PAST TEN YEARS.
Sorry Flip you've led sucha sheltered life and aren't aware of the geography of the Great Southern Land. You do know where it is, don't you?
But thanks for the congrats.
Just to put this in persepective:
Good, eh?
Cheers,
Ozzie
