    "Doing the Bradbury" is an Aussie term for winning yet not really doing anything. Rest of the world needs that slang as well

      I don't think that is a far representation of 'Doing a Bradbury' every time someone does a Bradbury they still needed to be in the right place. Sitting in a position to possibly win still involved great effort and risk.
      Bradbury gives hope to every competitor of sport to achieve a Bradbury against the favourite.
      It is certainly NOT DOING NOTHING!!!!!

    They forgot to say that the ice skater, Sven Kramer, also wanted to go in the right lane, but his coach said he should go in the other one. After this he was number one skater for several years, but never got the title on the 10.000 meters.

    You really should NOT have included "of All Time" in your title. The Winter Olympics have been held since 1924; the oldest Winter Olympics represented on this list was 1994. I can guarantee that the previous 18 Winter Olympics combined for a number of surprises worthy of inclusion.
    Among the surprise finishes left out of this list:
    1998: Bulgaria's Ekaterina Dafovska wins the gold medal in the 15km women's Biathlon, Bulgaria's first-ever gold medal in a Winter Olympics. Dafovska had finished 29th in the biathlon at the previous Olympics and had been ranked 51st in the world at the previous World Cup.
    1980: Thomas Wassberg of Sweden defeats Juha Mieto of Finland in the 15km cross country ski race by the ridiculously tiny margin of 0.01 seconds (41:57.63 to 41:57.64). It was only the third Olympics in which cross-country times were even measured to the hundredth of a second, and the margin seemed so ludicrous that Wassberg suggested to Mieto that they cut their medals in half to make two gold-silver medals (Mieto politely declined). This race prompted the International Ski Federation to mandate that in future competitions, cross-country race times would be rounded to the nearest tenth of a second.
    1976: American Bill Koch wins silver in the 30km cross-country skiing event, the only American medal in cross-country skiing until 2018. Before this Olympics, only four medalists in cross-country events had been from countries outside Scandinavia and the Soviet Union (with Switzerland getting 2 bronze, Czechoslovakia one bronze, and Italy one Gold).
    1972: Relatively unknown 17-year-old Swiss skier Marie-Thérès Nadig wins gold in both the Downhill and Giant Slalom, defeating Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll (who was the favorite in both races and would become the most successful female alpine skier of the 70s).
    1936: The British ice hockey team scores a major upset by winning the gold medal over four-time Olympic champion Canada (while this was only the fourth Winter Olympics held, the ice hockey competition was first held at the 1920 Olympics).
    NO argument with #1, though. I have trouble imagining anything beating that one.
