IIRC the commentary from that race, there was the
probability of a re-skate of the finals, but the
judges looked at the tape and saw what we did:  The
Aussie slipping through to take first; Ohno sprawling
across the line followed by the Canadian doing much
the same. Thus, the medals are won, if not the way
we-- not to mention the racers!-- wanted them to be.

As for the danger...it's just practise for Rollerball.
 I don't see a problem!
