I think Steven Bradbury deserves to be up there as he won in a sport we don't normally excel at.
Claiming its less worthy because people fell over would be like Central claiming they were less worthy of winning the GF because North kicked the ball poorly.

I heard in an interview say that his plan was to try and keep up with them as well as he could and hope that 1 or 2 of them collide to give him a chance for the medal. Smart strategy, that worked pretty bloody well!
