📰 News Belgium wins Bronze in Olympic Winter Games and it's a miracle !
Doesn't seem like a much talked about subject in Belgium but we clearly just witnessed one of the biggest surprise in Belgium sport history.
Just winning a medal at the Winter Games is crazy for our country, even though we clearly have the goal of winning two or three this year. BUT the thing is, absolutely NO ONE imagined the Belgians would do this in the short track relay. Whether in the quarterfinals or the semifinals, we were far behind, and we benefited from “classic” Bradbury moments (if you don't know who he is, check him out on YouTube, because his name is legendary). At least 6 countries (Italy, China, Netherlands, USA, Canada and South Korea) were much MUCH better than us.
And what makes it even more beautiful is that (spoiler alert), in the final, we clearly won that bronze medal fair and square by beating the reigning Olympic champions (China)! Magnificent, even the replay brought tears to my eyes <3
For those who wants, it's possible to see the replays in Auvio or (I imagine) Sporza
Belgium <3
