The men’s 1000 metres in short track speed skating at the 2002 Winter Olympics took place from 13 to 16 February at the Salt Lake Ice Center. This event is remembered for the victory of Australian Steven Bradbury who benefited from all four other skaters in the final going down ahead of him while Bradbury stayed on his feet and won gold. It was the first ever Winter Olympics gold medal for Australia.
