D

do a Bradbury

verb

to achieve something by accident. To win against extreme odds usually when more fancied competitors have eliminated themselves from a contest because of unforeseen circumstances. Also, to plan to run last in an event as a tactical move to capitalize on any mishaps that may occur. Origin: Steven Bradbury, a short course speed ice skater representing Australia at the 2002 winter Olympics won Gold after all 6 of the more fancied competitors in front of him fell on the final corner. Bradbury in last place, skated 10 metres past the fallen skaters to win gold. Bradbury believed that he would not be able to win so remained in last place and waited for a mishap to occur, which it did, allowing him to win Australia's first ever winter Olympic gold medal. Australian slang.
He was coming last when the others in the race fell, he kept going and won.
He's been training for this for five years but didn't expect to win, then he did a Bradbury across the finish line.
