I will always remind people that while "doing a Bradbury" deserves to be part of Australian folklore, the man was no joke and was a world champion in 1991 and Olympic bronze medalist in 1994 - both in relays.
In 1994, he was he favourite to win the individual 1000m, but was crashed out of both the 500m and 1000m by others fucking up or pushing him.
The gold medal was a reward for a lifetime of effort and experience - he was fucked over in his prime, and he was wily enough to let everyone fuck themselves so he could get the win he deserved
Not to mention iirc the same thing happened in the qualifier and he specifically chose to keep distance unless he had a safe attempt to pass during the event in case of a repeat, which paid off. I'm pretty sure I didn't fever dream this but maybe I did.

yeah i think he did the same thing in the semifinal, after getting binned in the heats but someone ahead of him getting disqualified
it's actually called "third place Jeopardy"
In the future it might be called "doing an Africa" (inshallah)
