As a teenager, Steven hit his head against a wal during one of his training sessions. He was in a coma for three days with a cracked skull. It took him a year to recover. In 1994, during a race, another racer's skate hit him and cut his leg badly Steven had 111 stitches and lost four litres of blood Eight years later during a race, Steven crashed with another skater and broke his neck. Steven kept working hard. His passion for the sport finally paid off. The world's unluckiest athlete went from last place to Olympic gold medal winner when all the skaters ahead of him fell over and he skated past them to victory. "I don't know everything sits well on my stomach now I won the race," he said, but I've paid my dues, I've had my share of bad luck. What goes round comes round
