So, today the Winter Olympic Games (Vancouver 2010) start. It made me think of the amazing story of Steven Bradbury at the games in Salt Lake City in 2002.
The story of this funny Aussie is quite famous in Italy because of a very popular tv show who talked about him and also made fun of him a lot.
If you don't know who the fuck Bradbury is and what he did,
check this out (final of the short track. bradbury is the first from the right), but then also read about him on
wikipedia, 'cause he is not a stupid wannabe who just happened to take part to the Olympic Games.
In Australia there is even a phrase, "doing a bradbury", that means to gain "an accidental win or unexpected or unusual success".
