He also competed in the 2002 Winter Paralympics in Salt Lake City where he won a bronze medal in the Downhill and Super G and a gold medal in the Giant Slalom. Steven (Or Steve as he is called) grew up on the family farm near birdlings flat and as a child was interested in many activities, such as kayaking, cycling, biking, fishing and of course skiing. Unfortunately around the age of 25, Bayley was in a car crash that resulted in the need for leg amputation. He was told that they could find no way for them to put his original leg back on, so he now wears prosthetic legs.
