MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
More than two decades after his extraordinary "last man standing" Winter Olympics gold medal, Steven Bradbury has been hailed for his bravery after saving four girls in the Sunshine Coast surf.
Australia's first Winter Olympics' champion helped rescue the teenagers from rough seas at Happy Valley, Caloundra, in March last year.
The 49-year-old former elite short track speed skater and four-times Olympian was recognised with a commendation for brave conduct by Australian Governor General David Hurley.
Bradbury, who will turn 50 later this year, described the situation as a "good father and son bonding moment" with Flyn, who helped with the rescue by alerting lifeguards.
Bradbury famously won gold in the 1,000 metre event at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, after all his opponents were involved in a last-corner pile-up.
He was also part of the short track relay team that won Australia's first Winter Olympic medal, a bronze, at the Lillehammer Games in Norway.
