Show Notes
We've all seen the video...we've all had or know someone who's done a 'Bradbury' - being a winner only because everyone else fumbled.This wasn't how Steven Bradbury imagined his hard earned and well deserved professional speed skating career would pan out; becoming an iconic Aussie moment for all the wrong reasons after dedicating his whole life up to that point to the sport.
In this episode, we delve in to the 27 years of Steven Bradbury's life before the famed moment - the dedication, sacrifice and near death experiences that will ultimately change your perception of the man. His luck didn't just come in the minutes of the 2002 Olympic Speed Skating Final - it was created through years and years (and years) of gruelling passion towards a sport that he put on the Australian map.
