In the1000 m contestCampbell was obstructed by the BritonNicky Gooch,who was disqualified. Campbell got up and thought he finished the race, and was celebrating his bronze medal with aCanadian Broadcasting Corporationreporter live on television when he discovered he hadn't completed the race. He had miscounted and left the track one lap short of the finish line, and was classified as a non-finisher. This meant thatMarc Gagnonwas a surprise bronze medallist, even though he wasn't even in the A final. Gagnon was first place in the B final so he received the bronze medal.
