He was already eliminated, but due to the Canadian star Mark Cannon was called for a foul, and Bradbury moved up to second place and entered the semifinals.

In the semi-finals, Bradbury was in last place on the last lap and far behind the four players in front, but in the final lap, three players passed each other. After falling due to the collision, Bradbury was able to enter the finals as second place in the group. In an interview after the game, he said that because he was not as strong as his opponent, he and his coach formulated a game strategy of not joining the first group and hoping that the leaders would collide.

In the final, Bradbury was in last place from the beginning, but at the last corner, the leading four players Apollo Anton Ono, Li Jiajun, and An Xian Soo and Matthew Turcotte also collided and fell together, but Bradbury calmly skated across the finish line to win.
