The term “doing a Bradbury” has taken on a whole new meaning. Steven Bradbury became synonymous with unexpected success after a shock 2002 Winter Olympic victory. Now the former speed skater is being hailed for his bravery after saving four girls in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast surf. Bradbury was the last man standing in the men’s 1000m short track final at Salt Lake City, winning Australia’s first Winter Olympic gold.
“After that I saw three more heads further out.” He took the 12-year-old to shore before paddling out to the others. “One was hyperventilating and one was panicking. They were just getting pounded wave after wave,” he said. “I got all three on the board but we had no momentum.” Suddenly the lifeguard his son had alerted arrived, plucking two girls from the water. Bradbury took the other to shore before all three teens got the medical all clear.
