I always agreed with the announcers that it was Ahn that caused the wipeout, but if you look closely, Ahn was trying to come in clean on the inside. The first contact was Apolo's left hand hitting Ahn's right leg, knocking it out from under him (and causing him to crash into Apolo). Ahn was really stretching to make a tight, clean pass.
accidents are part of the olympics and to say steven didn't "earn" the win is unfair. The unpredictability of short track is what defines the excitement of this sport and also defines who wins.
i think that steven bradbury shouldn't be proud of winning the gold cuz he knows he didn't even come close without the accident. he's not a top athlete, it's just like saying he cheated. he shouldn't be happy to have won that gold cuz it sure wasn't deserved.
i love apolo <3 but i think its SO funny how they slide to the finish xD

Hmmm. Never noticed this before.

That Korean grabbed Apolo on his way down, that guys should've been banned for life. Congrats to the Australian though, he didn't do anything wrong.
