Watching the Winter Olympics today I was reminded of this race from Salt Lake City:
Now watch the interview with Steven Bradbury:
half a dozen blokes had just fallen over and they wanted me to go up there and take a gold medal for it
Trained for 12 years, persevered following some serious injuries, tactically chose to stay out-of-the-way during the semi- and final. Does not sound like an accident to me.
