teven Bradbury created history when he won Australia and the Southern Hemisphere’s first Winter Olympic Gold Medal. Bradbury won fans the world over for the honesty and humility he showed after the win. He saw the victory as reward not for one race, but for 12 years of hard training that included more than his share of misfortune. A race accident in 1994 led him to being impaled on a rivals skate, creating a cut in his leg, so extensive he lost 4 litres of blood and required 111 stitches. He was extremely lucky to survive. A training mishap in the year 2000 broke his neck. After 6 weeks in a halo brace Bradbury again fought his way back, and 18 months later that same neck was supporting an Olympic Gold Medal !

Steven received The Don Award for Australia’s best sporting performance in 2002.
Yesterday was brilliant! Such an honour to hear and learn from your story – truly inspiring. Accepting the gold medal for 12 years, not 90 seconds speaks volumes for your maturity and given how hard I work, I know that I am not defined by 1 day! You would be a great speaker for our events, will be in touch!
